Sept 2nd..
Eve Rive is full of Pinks mixed in are big Coho in fair numbers..I am sure there is a major impact from all the gill netters in the narrows in front of the Eve Estuary...Coho fishing has been OK with the incoming tides



August 25th..
Reports from Rupert Inlet and the Cluxewe areas are good for Coho...drop by to get some of the specially tied flies for Coho...these flies are larger than we typically use but are what the fish want...so you know the rest of the story??!!

August 20th...
The fishing around the Eve,Cluxewe,Keough,Salmon Estuaries has been hampered by the Damn Gillnetters and Seiners raping the resource...when are the DFO baboons going to wake up. Some Coho are appearing again mixed in with the Sockeye going by  or through the Straight.The next raping will occur soon with the Chum fishery .


August 16th..
Eve River is still fishing well although the numbers of fresh fish are limited...and there are Coho coming is ...it was very good to go up river and see so many Pink Salmon in the system in good condition...this will be good for the future
The Cluxewe and Keough Rivers are still very low with dangerous water tempertures for any incoming fish...but beach fishing has been good and there are good numbers of Coho about...
Rupert Inlet already has a lot of Coho aboput with good numbers expected again this year..most area streams are too low and warm for fish to enter them...access to Rupert Inlet is going to be a bit more difficult because of the gates put up by the logging companies...
The Quatse River basin is loaded with Pink Salmon as is the Sayward Basin


August 11th..
The fishing is slowing down and the fish are beginning to mature and hump...although there are still silver fish about their numbers are limited,many fish have entered the river and moved up. Some Coho have been seen and a few caught.



August 7th..
Such an amazing fishery smack dab in the Middle of the Broughton Archelico,big numbers of fish are coming into the River  with teh cooler weather and behind them will come the Chinook and Coho...so far we have not seen too many Chinook wich might be indicitive of what lays ahead for us..There is  still a retention of 4 Pink Salmon/day  in effect..although teh retention of Pink Salmon at the Cluxewe is reduced to 1 per day...COho have been seen and landed in both locations using both Pink Salmon flies and the regular Coho Beach flies.
July 19th..
Fishing is getting much better ,you have to consider that the local rivers have good water flow because of the snow pack this year,although the Salmon and White seem to be the exception. There are Pinks already in the Salmon
Here is a pic of my Wife Val yesterday on the Eve with a very nice Pink Salmon caught on a Pink Fuzzy(fly)



July 16th..
Pinks have been about in very good numbers for the past week,some of the early pinks seem to be large this year so be prepared for some tough battles and broken tippets!


July 7th..
The Dolly Varden Trout fishing has been good in the estuaries witht eh occasional Pink Salmon showing it's back...it seems that we might see an early run this year...will keep this up to date

  

2010 
June 5th,,...
Dollies and Cutties,lots of them all about this year...the Salmon River has been good at the mouth and into the system...look for the early run of Coho coming intot eh White via the lower Salmon River all through June.
April20th...
Some very nice Cutties caught in the Estuary of the Eve this past week and a few Sea Run Brown Trout...I lost One there several weeks ago in the 5 lb range on a fairly large Polar Bear minnow pattern...the pattern had a sandy coloured back tied with "DNA"..



..April 6th...
Not many fry coming out yet so the Trout fishing is off..we need a few days of warm weather
March 25th....
If ever you want to get into some 20 plus inch Dollies and Cutthroat Trout this is the time of year to venture onto these isolated beaches and estuaries for such trophies...MINNOW PATTERNS!




November9th...
The season is basically over and what a good season it was...we are looking forward to next year when we will once again have a good season.

 October 14th...There are 100,000's of Pinks in the Eve system this year...it is amazing to see so many fish ...Coho also are in good numbers but have gone well up into the river itself...they started coming into the River in Late July
Now that the Salmon River has water the many fish that were laying in the lower River have made their way well into the upper reaches...Coho are getting ripe already..lets hope they do their tning well this year again

...


Sept 11th....
Coho Coho Coho..and some very big Ones...The Eve has a good number of Chinook and an impressive number of Coho coming in.The Pinks are all throughout the system and more coming in every day....so...what a year so far...The Coho Bugger in Pink or Blue has produced Coho up to 15lbs...so far!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 




Sept5th....
Coho Coho Coho...many Coho about and some real beauties...
Pink Salmon are still about in bright silver condition and BIG fish to be had as well...Watch the Bears!
  (Sept 3rd Pink)
August 28th...
 There are good numbers of Pink Salmon entering the Salmon River finally...even with the low water conditions..the water temperature has dropped a bit and the oxygen levels are a bit more friendly...expect many Coho in that system again this year..
Eve,Cluxewe,Rupert are all producing well with many fish already turning...Coho at Rupert are at times bitey,better than last year...Try a large Mickey Finn tied on a Number 4 or 6 with a little flash...


August 12th......
Fished the tides today ...many Coho about as well...landed too many fish(Pinks) but it was fun..kept none. A few of the fish( Pinks) are beginning to colour up...time for some water in the rivers.
Fish are in good numbers all the way from Hardy to Parksville



August 4th...
There are many Pink Salmon off the Sayward docks,Eve ,Keough, Cluxewe and Naka Creek...
 Have fun and report all poachers



July30...
Fishing has been good at times only...you have to work hard for these fresh fish...some Pinks are already up into the fresh water areas...remember,these hot days are not the best...try to catch the best fishing after our first rains or serious changes in temperature
July 26...
Fished the Eve today and saw a fair number of fish....took 3 home and was into about a dozen...My best fly for the day was the Yellow Bead head Handle Bar...although I think if you have a weighted Shrimp pattern you will do better.
July 24th...
There are and have been a few Pinks Salmon caught  off he beach...it is that time again!

July 20th.....
We fished the Eve yesterday and today with nothing to show for our efforts except for some fine Dolly Varden Torut to 18"...went to Sayward and the same there...however I did see several large Salmon jump as the tide turned and that may be the beginning.


July 18th...
There are fish beginning to show at Sayward and north...a good time indeed...will post pictures on Monday



July 15th...
Still nothing Showing,but a few Fish have been spotted off Hardy and the Sockeye are coming down...so any day



July 8th...

there hasn't been any Pink Salmon seen yet...will post in several days again
