With all the migratory Coho and Pink salmon heading by, bottom fish will come out of the deeper water to feed on the smaller, weaker salmon, so there is no need to look for these fish in any water deeper than 120 to 180 feet. Look for areas with structure, where the bottom is inconstant in depth with rock and gravel up-croppings. When targeting bottom fish, try to utilize the high slack through the first two hours of the ebb.

The fishing and weather remain excellent as we continue to enjoy consistent angling opportunities, both on the inside fishery for local mature Conuma River Chinook, and on the outside which remains steady and hot for all runs of wild Pacific salmon and all species of bottom fish. Fish in the upper 20-lb to lower 30-lb range are still here in Nootka Sound, thanks to the efforts of our local hatchery programs. ![]()
