POWELL RIVER OUTDOORS UP-DATE

Salmon Fishing
This has remained steady beetween all the bad weather.A couple Tyees and many Chinooks in the teens to twenty's have been caught in the past week.Ron from Lund with the secret flasher seems to be the master teacher.Ron's tip of the week,don't be afraid to try extra long leaders on hoocheis 4-5'
We hooked four nice chinooks in Thunderbay this past weekend ranging from 9-15lbs.Aaron and Nico did the fishing using a Cop Car Coyote and a purple haze hoochie.
Campbell River has pickced up this past week,so look for Grant's Reef,Savary and Coho pt. to pick up as weel when these fish pass through.Steady coho also being caught,don't be afraid to try the backside of Harwood for Coho.This area is not closed it is simply non-retention of chinook salmon.
Crabs/Prawns
Crab fishing remains good in the crabby areas and surprising prawn numbers in some cases.Look for a good numbers of small-lg prawns in the coming weeks as numbers look good for small-med prawns at this time.
Lake fishing
If you want to catch trout at this time of year you shouldn't have a problem as there are many lakes to choose from.Powell,Inland,Khartoum and of course Lois are sure bets.

  1. I am heading up to the Lund/Savary area in a week. Hope to put a couple of days in the on the water. Any suggestions for spots close by? I am not to familiar with the area, as I grew up in Powell River, however that was over 25 years ago.
