Anybody fish this river or the sea in front of it? I will be camping up that way in early Sept. Not sure if any salmon will still be running in that area then.

Tail end of the pinks and some coho will be showing up along the beach. Also, fishing off Lady Ellen Pt can be good for coho on a flood tide.
if you have a small boat or can fish off the beach with waders, and are up for a small road trip, head over to Rupert Arm at the head of Quatsino for some pretty good coho fishing.
Good luck

Early September for Coho's. Humpies should be done and stinky by then.

A fellow I know's been camping there every year for a long time and he said this was by far the best year for pinks. Was through Pt Hardy today there's a slough of them there still too.
Every year when there are good numbers of pinks in the Clux, some nice halibut are taken fishing shallow using pinks for bait.. One guy I know filleted his pinks and used the frames for hali bait and he did very well
Cool, good idea but makes sense !Quote:
