The following quotation from Salmon University regarding Port Hardy:
Chinook: The first great runs of Chinook usually begin to arrive out of the northern waters about mid-June. The early Chinook often are in great numbers and average in the 20 to 30 pound range. Their sizes increase in July with 30 pounders common and bigger fish caught.
Most of the Chinook have passed through by the end of August. However, if you want big Chinook and do not care about the number, the last week of August - first 10 days of September is the time to be in Port Hardy.
Should I consider bellying up to the bar and investing the time and energy into a Pt Hardy trip this late in the season? Where I am it's thick with pinks and coho so that's not what I'm looking for: I missed my spring fix this summer --should I consider taking a last minute swipe at the brass ring this late in the season?
Anyone care to comment on that last Salmon U. paragraph?
