Courtenay in June
« on: June 01, 2013, 07:16:19 AM »

Looks like I could be in Courtenay most of June for work.Not sure if I'll have enough free time to fish,but still would like some info on fresh and salty opportunities in the area.Would probably need quick/easy shore access for limited time fishing.I could bring a float tube or maybe even my 14' with 35 hp if the situation lets me.......thanx.

Give Courtenay at Nile Creek fly Shop a call as he can give you all the updated info on what and where they are running.

There is more Bull S**T in fly fishing than in a Texas cattle yard

Hike into forbidden plateau lakes from mt washington if there free of ice. Easy hike great spots to fish. Scenic plus.

Puntledge can be good around this time, as well as the Oyster and Campbell. Just make sure to check the regs on closings for sections of the rivers. Oyster is fly only from the lowest bridge to the mouth til july for example. Good luck, cutty fishing should still be real hot right now.

Yes, there's a good drop off not far from shore at king coho, best to go on the low tide. Could hook into a spring or coho out there. Good luck with pinks tho, I grew up in between Campbell River and Courtenay; and the pinks dont normally start showing up on the beaches/river mouth's til end of july - beg of aug.
