New record salmon...

Well we have a new record for a lang creek Chinook.Tod.B
landed a 52lb Chinook yesterday morning a Lang Bay in Powell River.Fish of this size in malaspina straight are rare,but thanks to the the work of all the volunteers and shane at the hatchery Powell River has a fishery second to none on the winside.Todd lowered his fireman coyote to 50' and bang the battle was on.Todd has caught all kinds of salmon but this battle in shallow water was like no other.When it was over Todd had one of the biggest Salmon ever to come out of our waterms in over 20 years..Congratulations Todd,buy the way i witnessed a seasoned angler have a rod and reel ripped out if his hands the day before by a huge spring.Was it the same one?
Todd also lost a 30lb Plus this morning,so guess what the big boys are here so stop by P.RO. Get the latest,get geared up as Todd did and get big results....
Grant Reefs,and the mill are also hot.Head out at first light to the mill az steve and dave did and its reel simple..You will catch fish!
-Crabbing at harwood and savoury remains good.
-Prawn fishing in Powell River is spotty in some areas and good in others.The key is to vary depth and let traps soak 6-24 hours..
Lake fishing is good in larger and higher elevation lakes.Haslam and Freeda are lakes of the week,win and darcy caught there limits on these lakes in the last couple days.
-Firearms course,there is room in the October class call 604-485-2555ext2 for details.
-Boating licence stop in and right the exam and get your licence the same day.
Hunting season has begun,Stopmin and get licenced upmand try a shot in our range with an excaliber crossbow,you will love it!
Thank you all for your support this summer,get out and enjoy Powell Rivers Outdoors..Sam Out!

August is here and the Lang creek hatchery fish are just arriving.Aug10 to well into September there will be all kinds of chinook,coho,pinks and chum salmon to be caught from westview to lang bay.Here are a few tips.
-fish early morning and tide change
-glo hoochies in low light
-anchovies in early august
-bright ugly spoons
-troll from 15-150' mix it up
-have a large net
I find that Aug 15 on seems to be good,and this year you may keep two coho regardless if the adipose finn is missing.This regulation is for the lang creek area"check regs"
Locally the fishing has tailed off,the news of the week another halibut caught off of
Kidie pt "coho pt" nico cristante with derrick veenhoff landed a beauty just over 40lbs.The hot lure
Was the Pro Wonderstripe coyote,trolled @80' in 120' of water..
