I heard they might open it back in September. That river was nearly dead a few years back. BC Hydro damed Comox Lake and sealed the spawning grounds off to the wild stocks not sure how many years ago. The local conservation society there has done an amazing job of restoring the Puntledge. Really there are no wild fish in that river besides the resident trout.

Looking forward to fishing it next week.
