In the salt chuck, chinook and coho are widely accepted as the mainstay of the saltwater salmon fishery. Chinook fishing can be had year round, given the presence of resident fish that live in every harbour, sound and inlet 12 months a year.
Septembers on the coast are truly fantastic because this is coho time. Coho flood the ocean waters all up and down the coast as the summer progresses. They grow tremendously fast in these herring rich waters and by the time September rolls around there are plenty of robust, 8 to 14 pound eating machines out and about.
