2010 Fishing Forecast

Spring is here and the long days of summer will be on us soon.  The 2010 salmon fishing season is looking excellent.   Reports from Washington, Oregon, and California are reporting strong Chinook returns last year. The Columbia River is expected to have over half a million Chinook returning this year; this is 3 times higher than 2009 return. This is indicating an overall increasing trend for migrating salmon past the waters of Nootka Sound. Our local outlook is very strong with DFO reporting strong and stable returns last fall and record numbers of 2 and 3 year old Chinook, or Jacks.
