Fished the ledge from Brotchie to the far side of Clover and back to Esquimalt. DEAD. Only spotted a few fish out off of Clover point in about 180' of water. No Bait to be seen. Tried bait and rubber and spoons. Nothing. Was out at 8am to noon. Should have gone for a motorcycle ride???

DUCKMAN: I don't believe any of these fish have been clipped over the years.
It is labour intensive but not costly to clip. Ideally they should be clipped and
nose tagged so that hard data can be obtained when heads are turned in. This
would tell where these fish are caught and how many return to release site. I will
check this out further.

you might also want to check out the 'clipping trailer', a sort of new invention combining electronics and mechanical engineering into a big 5th wheel that goes hatchery to hatchery to do the job here in washington state. interesting that this was also 'invented' right here in the PNW. i guess they have 6 of them at this point. had a tour of one in action and it was amazing to see this function.
fry are put in a tank with a sedative to settle them down, sucked downward via a big pump, electronically measured nose to tail, routed into one of 6 different clipping station tubes based on length, held in a nifty 'vice' while the laser finds the adapose and snip, the operator is watchin all of this on monitors, one/clipping station to insure the clipping is complete, fish shoots out back into the hatch pond. any fry too big are shunted into a seperate tank for a person to do the clipping.
i don't remember the production numbers but i do remember the gal telling me they do in 2 days what would have been 2 weeks of hand labor.

One trip is worth a thousand words. Get out there and give it a try.
The Pro Pats Legion Derby was held today with the weigh in at Esquimalt Anglers'
ramp by 1:00 PM. Only 9 salmon weighed in with 22-8 the largest. It was caught
at Otter Point I believe. Most of the fish came from Sooke waters. Victoria
waterfront from Trail Island to Albert Head was slow. A few smaller feeder
chinooks are being caught at Constance Bank recently.
