Sockeyes return
in great numbers

THE SOCKEYE are here.

By David Korsch
Contributing Writer

This is the peak year of the four-
year Adams River sockeye cycle. In
addition, other sockeye stocks are
also having strong returns. This
means we are in for some incredible
sockeye fishing over the next couple
of months.

At the present time, schools of
sockeye are arriving off the mouth of
the Fraser River. Since it is early in
the run, there is still a lot of space
between the schools. Typically, the
action is hot for a period of time,
then it dies until you can relocate a
school. As more schools arrive, the
lulls will get shorter and shorter.

Recent hot locations included

roughly two miles NW of the QA
marker, and in near the [ona outfall
jetty. Ali of the different sockeye
hootchies seem to be producing well,
though different boats have different
favorites. The most productive
depths have been from nine to 27m
(30 to 90 ft.).
“There are a fair number of under-
sized chinook (fess than 24.2 in/62
cm) among the sockeye so please
watch for them and release them
carefully (do not net them).

early in the mornings. The best
method is to troll cutplugs off down-
riggers between 4.5 to nine m (15
and 30 ft.), Mooching live herring
will also produce well if you can
place yourself in the path of the
moving schools.

Hole in the wail (Horseshoe Bay)
is also producing some nice coho
and chinook in the mornings. Try
cutplugs off the downriggers, or
white hootchies between 12 to 24 m
(40 and 80 ft.).
