Wondering if anyone has caught any sockeye in the canal yet?

There was a few boats fishing them when I ran in this afternoon, I didn’t see any jumpers

 

[Ceviche]

Where did you spot them? I tried the other weekend fishing them for the first time and no luck anywhere from china creek to hocking…

Had some good chats with the guys/gals working the river when i came in the other day, slow for them, 1 boat was maybe getting 8 fish a set...still early yet, all very friendly and had some good bantering going back and forth, had some good laughs with the group chilling on the outside dock waiting for better incoming tide.

heard on the radio, forecast was low for this year, in 2018 it opened for a while, then closed in june sometime, i talked with a DFO guy and he said one of the lakes(great central I think) wasn't getting enough returning, but Sproat was doing good. i kind of expect similar this year??? who knows.

And the few fish returning are already having to squeeze past the gillnets strung across the river.

You said it, not me....... i would rather they left it closed to all to see how things look.....

Taking family staying at China Creek Campground from June 19 to 25th to mainly fish for sockeye. If the sockeye is closed, what other options would you suggest we have? Is going to Bamfield and fishing for chinook and bottom fish the only option? Tkx in advance

Fishing around Bamfield has been very good. Make the run up! Chinnok fishing at Austin, Cree, Swale and Kirby should be very good at that time!
Small spoons, skinny gs fished 6 feet behind your flasher. Money my friend!
