Middle of may through to the end of June is prime for bulk of springs always a few stragglers around after that. Every year is a little different to hit the peek of the spring run. Coho start showing in numbers the beginning in July to the middle of September. Big northern ones show up near the middle of August had a blast labourer day weekend a few times fishing them.
actually, we went out in sept one year and got monster coho. they are a blast.
do limits change there during the year?

Definitely a great time for big coho latest I fished it was September 5-7th one year we were up at the work channel. It was amazing whales and dolphins everywhere and the bite was epic. We caught one 15lb+ Coho after another when the dummy flasher came up with the ball there would be fish right behind it almost every time.
Always wanted to do that trip again I’m usually there the end of June. Try and catch the end of the springs and beginning of the cohos.

If I remember correctly the coho haven’t had any changes yet the springs have had some in the last few years. There was a 0 retention on a few occasions in June returning back to a 2 per day 4 possession in July and August. Best to check with the authorities now before heading out to be certain.
we are heading up june 21-28. maybe a few coho around as well as springs
if that happens will go earlier
Rupert is a big area as to where the fish entering chatham for the bulk of the runs for the Skeena and Nass systems specially in July which has great fishing if you know where to go in the none tradition spots, We also get them in Aug but your travelling to the west coast of Dundas or stevens island on the out side around skiaki island specially when the wind pushes the fish more to the North and they miss Langara
