The ClubHouse Reports
August 15, 2005
Sunny and warm describes the weather as well as our guest's disposition. Although the Coho have seemingly moved, Chinooks are showing cooperation. Cohoe Point and places north are still taking a back seat to Gunia Point and Boulder Bay and the halibut grounds off Cape Knox are holding strong. Guides have begun using Clendan Stewart 5's and 6's more frequently but herring is still the best producer.

Coho and Chinook continue to present themselves at Gunia Point with average sizes of 7-9 lb and 19-23 lb respectively. Fifteen tyee were retained and three released on this trip - possible indication that some bigger stock is arriving. Good size halibut can be found both southwest and east of Langara, two to six miles off the coast. The summer weather that we've just begun to enjoy has made these off coast trips very enjoyable.

Fishing continues to improve in Langara waters - the average Chinook has increased to 21-24 lb and the number of tyee showing up daily is also encouraging. During this past trip, guests brought in 16 tyee (including Bart Davies' 40, 33 and 31pounders), topped off by David Wane's 44 lb King caught on the day of departure - a great way to say goodbye to The Clubhouse! Cohoe and Gunia Points are definitely the place to be and although Gunia is not as busy, it's where you want to fish for the big ones.

The tyee just keep rolling in! Chinook are back at Cohoe Point after taking a few days off to visit Gunia Point and Boulder Bay. Pink have become plentiful and pose a challenge in getting to the Springs and Coho. Clendan Stewart chrome and 50/50 chrome/brass (# 51/2) proved to be good at bypassing the pinks and getting to the "real" fish. Ottawa's Whit Tucker and his group pulled in 6 tyee almost matching Vancouver's Jason Craik and his group who caught 7 tyee. Rick Pallen on a trip with his father Barney, caught and released a 47 pound Tyee, it was the trip of a lifetime for both of them especially Barney who will be turning 75 this year! Coho Point to Andrews Point is the hot spot but Boulder Bay continues to offer up the bigger tyee.

Another great trip featuring a Queen Charlotte weather bonanza - sun, rain, wind, along with good company and oh yes fish - all you really need for a good fishing trip. Chinook are slowly averaging up (currently 20-24 lbs) and the tyee class is increasing both in weight and numbers. This trip saw 21 tyee caught with five over 40 lbs. The largest catch and release of the trip and in fact of the season, was Michael Campbell's 1873 lb sea lion, which he played for over 10 minutes!
