If the weather is decent I'll be out there in a blue aluminum, hopefully with a slab on the end of my line...

waiting with baited breath..................
Well I am sorry to report...No fish!
Fished from 3:30 till 7:30.
Otter was foggy on the web cam so we oppted for Beachy and the trap.
It was windy and that heavy flood brought on some good rollers and chop.
There were a few guys around but I did not see a fish caught. From the chatter on the radio it sounded like it had been a quiet day out there.
Off to Kamloops for some fly fishing on Wed through the long weekend.
Hope the fish are in when we return.

Same story for me as well as Bigfish...
Started at Secretary at 7 am, very slow so we decided to troll to Otter on the late ebb, around 10 am halfway between Secretary & Otter all hell broke loose, Cohos everywhere!!! We were quickly running out of bait, so I swiched to a 4 inch party girl spoon and kept rockin'. By 12 noon we had 4 hatch in the boat and released about 20 wild ones....for two hours as soon as a line was down a fish was on...fun fun fun!!! The wild Cohos are bigger and the ratios were about 5 wild vs. 1 hatchery, we had a couple of 10 lb wilds tailwalk across the width of the boat...just spectacular. I would really recommend the spoon as they are so easy to release next to the boat don't have to touch the fish or pull it out of the water.
Trolled around Otter a few times and....nothing, so we decided to head back to where the Coho were, just trolled past the point and "wham" had a nice white spring, about 15 lbs. Fog started coming in so we called it a day around 1:30pm. I had my line at 53 ft all day and buddy had his anywhere from 63 to 80 and it didn't seem to matter they kept hittin'.
'Twas a great day!!

Same thing this morning off Otter, lots and lots of cohos, 50-60' out by the tide. Two springs, not much in the way of size to brag about.
