QCL fishing has been steady this week with lots of great Coho action throughout the grounds and enough really big Chinooks around to keep everyone well inspired. Coho have been especially active around the morning high tide and now are being picked up out in the deeper waters traditionally reserved for the Halibut fishing. Beautiful silver bullets to 15 pounds are being taken regularly at 20 pulls while bottom fishing in addition to the normal trolling results. Lots of nice Halibut are around as well at depths around 150 - 180 feet. Chinook fishing continues to test the metal of most lodge anglers; there are a good number of big beautiful Tyees being caught but we have had to work for them. Chris Curley started the week off with a bang, boating a nice 42 pounder at Parker Pt. while Lynn Bigelow bagged a 39. Jordan Rice's Dad Bob netted a bright silver 40 pounder for him and today he returned the favour, helping Bob to bring a stunning 42 pounder into the boat. QCL guide Kevin Clough boated a nice 42 pound Tyee as well for angler John Pfahl Wednesday, which John opted to release. Congratulations John and thanks for letting that big one go! John will receive his own custom copy of our new QCL book, Thrill of the Catch as a special keepsake. On the Halibut front, Totem House guest Peter Nicholson earned a well-deserved rest after reeling in a massive 121 pounder while fishing with guide Terry Laboucane, adding his name to the QCL 100 Pounder Club trophy. That's quite a fish guys - well done! |
