looking for help

[mark]

Any of you good people know of a web site that is as good or close to as good as this one for a Rivers Inlet area fishing reports. I ask this Question about a week ago and I think tubber or cuba suggested Oak Bay group, but I had no luck finding a forum anywhere close to this one or even a up-to-date report. Any help would be great.
thanks in advance.

Hi Mark,

This is off the King Salmon Resort website. Hopefully a report from yesterday is "recent enough" for you.

www.kingsalmonresort.com

I highly doubt; actually...pretty darn sure you will not find a fishing forum solely dedicated to Rivers Inlet. Checking on these forums and the "lodge reports" will be your best bet.



Fantastic Fishing in Rivers Inlet
King Salmon Resort - August 7, 2008



The fish are here!

Yes, we are finally landing fish on both sides of the inlet! With seven new Captain’s Club members, five of which were in the 40 pound range, plus one Master Fisherman, trip 8 was a huge success.

With the weather on our side, two Mouth trips to Calvert Island produced a steady flow of Coho and one big Chinook. The old theory of having one in the boat to get things started was proved right.

With a forecast of rain again for the next couple of days, I’m expecting the fish to stay around in good numbers for some time yet.

We will continue hitting the Slide, Whale Rock and McPhee Bay (minutes from the resort) on a more regular schedule to get the fish that, as predicted, are coming up on our side of the inlet.

My congratulations to Steve Betts and wife Courtney, who got the fish of the trip. Also to Bob Bidner for his 18 pound Coho. To all the other big fish anglers—Gary Hughes, Dave Webb, Joel Sitts, Dave Novak and Archie York—well done to you all and welcome to the club!

Hope to see you all back next year to better your pounds.

‘til then, keep your eyes on your tips and your lines tight.

57 lbs. of Rivers Inlet Chinook
King Salmon Resort - July 31, 2008



My prediction of the 28th being the start of the big fish may actually have been right!

With a 23 pounder caught by Fred Horsley on the first afternoon of the trip our feelings were positive for a great five days on the water. With the migrating of boats from down the inlet to here at the head I was sure all the other resorts were thinking along the same lines. That said, with strong winds and the inset of some ugly weather, day two was less productive than hoped.

With the fish being most active in the mornings and the low tides being great for the north-side points (Marker 16, McAllister Point, etc) the 29th was a good one with some nice Chinook brought in (including a 48 pounder caught by Bill Stanley).

The 5th and final morning of the trip was a slow starter until the final call in for boats was made and Tim McTaggart and his wife Jean landed a big 57 pounder (trip and resort record for the season so far—well done to our newest Master Fisherman!!) to leave with a great fishing story. I expect the north will be the productive side for the next 4 or 5 days until we start to see them come in at Whale Rock and The Slide. But the fish are definitely here!

It was a slow start to a good finish. The weather was not kind at all and the outlook is for more of the same (at least for the next three days), though the large amount of rain its been bringing is always good for the fishing days to come.

Well done to all the anglers for putting in the time throughout the bad weather and congratulations to the ones who landed the big ones. I hope to see you all back soon.

‘til then, keep your eyes on your tips and your lines tight.
