J UST wondering if anyone knows what the coho count is at the hatchery todate.
-
No information on figures, but the return so far is less than 50% of the return this time last year.
-
That must explain my lack of ability to catch them.
-
The numbers are definitely lower, only seeing a coho here and there caught. This time last year, I was limiting every time I went. Rod had suggested high water temps has killed off many and provided less feed for them.
-
Reports of 20's finally showing up at nootka and 8-12's from sooke last few days/week so "could" still be possible at just being late but not looking good overall that's for sure.
-
I have caught about 45 coho in my local river closer to Surrey but about 60 % of the fish are small 2 to 4 lb hatchery Jacks

Subtle bragging is still bragging and I won't draw any more attention to your post and area than you already did.
My area of success can be accessed if you take the @#$% turn off of hwy &%$.
I've only caught ??? But save money on tolls with a round about route.
Yes, the fish are smaller than average with a few exceptions and my personal numbers are down as well but then again, I only fish when and where you guys say I should ;)

That's a lot of fish to catch in those ditches.
I hope that you are not exceeding your quota of 1 (one) hatchery coho per day!

That is good to hear. I know at a few of the hatcheries "closer to Surrey" the number of Coho back is 0. Springs are hit and miss to. Hope they make it up soon.
