Summary
The Douglas Channel continues to produce Chinook of all sizes through out the Douglas Channel. From open water to the mouth of the Kitimat, it seems that the feeder Chinook and the spawners are all mixed together in the same locations.
Halibut are also being caught aleit further down channel has been more productive.
Halibut fishing is usually better in the inner waters of the Douglas in July and August when the spawned Pinks, Chinook and Chum start washing out the river mouths and creeks.
The forecast is for sunny skies for the next couple of weeks so anyone interested in experiencing the wonders of the Douglas Channel, please call Ron 250 632 1275 or email wakita
