there is an early fall run of chum and coho salmon, the odd chinook aswell, and in the lower parts of the river there are searun cutthroat. above the bridge is fly only during the salmon run, and below you can fish gear. If you are heading into sooke there is a road on the left named Kaltasin, it takes you to billings spit which can have great searun cutty fishing.
