FISHING REPORT – for the Future and 2015 Salmon Season LIKELIHOOD of an El Nino - Fishers and Oceans Canada (DFO) and NOAA are both predicting a weak El Nino (warmer water in the Pacific) over the next two months. Then a weakening of the system to an ENSO-neutral conditions (normal water temperatures) thereafter. What does this mean for the fish and fishing? Survival and returns of Salmon off the West Coast of Vancouver Island (WCVI) are historically directly related to cool water temperature which then produces higher abundance of zooplankton (food for salmon fry). This in turn causes higher growth and survival in salmon fry and other species. So it is GOOD News that the water temps will cool to normal temperature ranges in April, May & June when most salmon fry are leaving the rivers & streams migrating to the salt. Which is very GOOD News for the future of Salmon fishing in our area. MORE GOOD News - this all lines up with the 2015 SALMON OUTLOOK recently produced by DFO for Nootka Sound & Esperanza Sound. Recent DNA studies have shown that 80+% of Chinook caught in Esperanza and a much higher percentage of Chinook caught in Nootka are Conuma Hatchery fish. “This is not new NEWS for those of us who have fished the area for years” The Conuma Hatchery fishery is projected to be as strong as it was last season, which was VERY GOOD. Add to that MORE GOOD News —the Columbia River Chinook returns are projected to be 1 million + and the Coho will be retuning in strong number again this season. Having these Columbia run literally right on our door step at the mouth of Esperanza Inlet & Nootka Sound is a HUGE bonus to the local Salmon fishery. “All & All the 2015 Salmon Fishing/Catching Season looks like it will Be VERY GOOD”. SEE YOU SOON!!!

TUNA, TUNA,TUNA Yes Albacore TUNA will be in our backyard again this summer. This season should be more normal than last year. Usually 20-35lb Albacore show up the 2nd week in August stay close inshore 15-20 off until mid-September. We are in a very unique situation because of our location below Brooks Peninsula and off the Canyons of Esperanza and Kyuquot Inlets. Because of the way the southern moving current pushes around Brooks Peninsula the warmer TUNA water is pushed close in shore bring the albacore closer to the WCVI than ANYWHERE else on the Island! Albacore Tuna Fishing/Catching is the MOST EXCITING type of fishing available on the West Coast of Vancouver Island (WCVI). A GOOD DAY can produce 20+ of these beauties while fishing on smooth Caribbean colored water in a tee shirt. Yes it is a very unique fishery one that you will not soon forget. Not only because of GREAT FISHING but the spectacular sea life which is ALWAYS in the same areas where you find TUNA. Whales, Sunfish, Hundreds of Birds, Porpoises, Sea Turtles, it goes ON & ON.
