Langara Island Sept. 6th Fishing Report
Weather & Conditions

Forecast is calling for mostly clear skies Tues and Wed, then partly cloudy with a chance of rain for the rest of the week. Winds moderate north to westerly.

Fishing Report

Fishing continues to be solid for chinook salmon and good to excellent for coho.

The coho present now are the larger Northern variety, with hook noses and weighing up to 20 pounds at this time of year. Many guests are encountering them in groups, which means frequent double-headers and the odd triple or quad of coho bites! A quadruple-header of Coho will definitely put your fish-fighting abilities to the test.

Chinook are being caught mainly from Andrews Point to Langara Rocks, anywhere from 10-60 pulls. The quantity of bait in this area seems to vary from day to day, but when it’s present the fishing has been very productive.

The largest chinook this trip is 34 pounds, the largest coho is 17 pounds.

Halibut fishing has been quiet due to the west side being closed, but things are calming down today and there may be an opportunity tomorrow for fishing off the west side.

As of Monday afternoon, the leading fish in the September Salmon Showdown are a 44 pound chinook and 18.5 pound coho. If anyone can best either of those weights, they’ll win a return trip next year — tight lines and good luck!

Wildlife

We have had a big increase in salmon shark encounters this week, which generally leaves the angler feeling like a Christian in a lions den!

A pod of transient killer whales were sighted around the island, cruising the kelp beds in search of seals. Humpbacks whales have also been seen feeding on bait around the top of the island.
