You'll be participating in the Avid Anglers Program. We'll be recording the details of all the salmon we catch or release . We'll measure length and get a tissue sample for DNA which will be analyzed to identify the home river of each fish . Also, the fish we release will get a PIT tag , a tiny electronic tag inserted in the body cavity, and then carefully released. All my guests have been very supportive and gain a feel-good experience to contribute to the salmon knowledge base. </div><br /> <p></p>Rick Hackinenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14095223152433476533noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1501577665328849399.post-84045962675116815862024-02-24T19:22:00.000-08:002024-02-28T10:31:11.404-08:00Good News !

The counts are terrific. We remember the super fishing all year. The number of chinooks that returned to their rivers exceeded expectations and often by huge margins . </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Here are some numbers . </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The Thomson/Shuswap (called 4.1s) , in contrast to returns in recent decades of 75,000 to 100,000, in 2023 the estimated return was 627,000 !!! Those are the short-nosed bullets that some people mistakenly call Columbias . They are far north migrating and we generally fish for them in the narrow channel migration corridors in the north part of our fishing area. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> The Harrison River stock came back at 150,000 , which is twice the escapement goal. Those Lower Fraser stocks make up most of the white-fleshed chinooks we catch in our area. These chinooks tend to stick around in Georgia Strait, anchored by the abundant herring. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Cowichan Chinook came back at 21,000 , with an escapement goal of 6,500. These fish are very important in the Georgia Strait fishery, and they have grown back from low numbers years ago. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> We have fishing restrictions with ample margins of precaution to protect weak stocks. The strong returns are the main stocks we historically fish for. It is such good news . </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> Even more good news is that indicators for the 2024 season continue to be very good. Locally, the winter fishing for the growing immature chinooks has been extraordinary, for both number and size. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">What could be better ? Add cohos . Even more good news is that significant numbers of cohos are showing up inside Georgia Strait to indicate that a large portion of them are choosing to stick around rather than going out to sea. We had wonderful coho fishing last year from cohos that stayed inside and it looks like things could be shaping up for that situation again ! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">For more detail , here is a cut and paste piece from the Sport Fishing Institute of British Columbia. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">. <span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="color: #4b4b4b; font-size: 10.5pt; text-align: center;">Information recently reported by Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) offers
excellent news regarding Chinook recovery and productivity. After several
cycles of below average returns, some key stocks have rebounded leading to an
abundance of Chinook in BC south coast waters that has not been seen in
decades, or maybe ever. This surge and rebound is creating consistent angling
success for all sectors and even greater availability of Chinook in BC waters
for our iconic SRKW. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="color: #4b4b4b; font-size: 10.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-CA; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">
<br />
There are two life histories of Chinook salmon based on the length of time they
spend in fresh water before entering the ocean. . Ocean type Chinook spend only
a few months or less in the river, quickly moving into tidal waters. Stream
type Chinook spend at least a full year and up to two years in river before
heading out to the ocean. It appears that 4-year ocean type chinook, known as
4.1s, are benefitting from current ocean conditions and other
as-yet-undetermined factors that are influencing their survival and
productivity. <br />
<br />
2023 returns of Summer 4.1 Chinook, which enter the Fraser July to September
and spawn in the Thompson\Shuswap area, are currently estimated by DFO to be an
unprecedented 627,000 fish! To provide perspective of how impressive that
number is, average returns for the past decade have been in the 75,000 to
100,000 range. This Summer 4.1 stock is known to be far north migrating
and therefore contributes to fisheries throughout the BC coast. Lower Fraser
Fall 4.1 Chinook, which enter the Fraser River in August to October and spawn
in tributaries below Hope, are seeing similar recovery as evidenced by
the return of the Harrison River indicator stock. The Harrison River
stock, closely monitored to provide a proxy for all the other rivers that make
up the larger Fall 4.1 stock group, returned at 150,000, over double the
science-based escapement goal. Cowichan Chinook, another carefully monitored
indicator stock, is estimated at 21,000 and has been well over its
science-based escapement goal of 6500 for over 7 years now. Enhanced Chinook
returns to Barkley Sound are estimated at 200,000, and all West and East Coast
Vancouver Island enhanced runs returns are at high levels of abundance in
2023. <br />
<br />
What’s even better news is the salmon outlook for 2024 indicates we can expect
similar levels of abundance for these key stocks for the upcoming season. This
is great news for , all fishing sectors, coastal and riverside communities, and
should provide historic levels of prey for SRKW as they frequent the migration
routes of these highly abundant stocks during the time, they are present in
their greatest numbers, and at their largest sizes. <br />
<br />
So, while there are still salmon stocks along our coast that require attention,
monitoring, enhancement, and support to aid in their recovery, the Chinook
stocks detailed above are important indicators, well worth highlighting, and
bona fide good news for Chinook, SRKW, and angling in BC for 2024 and beyond!<br />

The gear is mini- sized flashers and spoons , fished 6 rigs per side on the downriggers. Here are 11 fish from 12 hooks . 6 are young cohos , which will be real sport fish by spring or summer. 5 are juvenile chinooks, but they are a year older and bigger than the ones we are looking for . So, none of these are exactly what we are looking for in this research. But, Golly these are great indicators for the near future of salmon fishing in our area. </p>Rick Hackinenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14095223152433476533noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1501577665328849399.post-48890365270492210322023-11-28T21:19:00.000-08:002024-02-24T21:24:49.311-08:00November .

The answer has been, yes, but with some need for clarifications. This past season there were two motorboat trips when we caught no keepers, but we did release an oversize fish on each of those trips that was larger than the maximum size allowed at that time and area. Fish that we release are measured, sampled, tagged and released carefully. The third photo is from a trip that began with higher expectations, and ended with one fish caught, and one lost at the boat. I'll be giving some extra fishing time to these folks on their next trip. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjZIi3pZOyVIYkaK9TcGp2rA6fDvED2XPDBgx33Le_qa289VKt-XY8hnZqtsuftvkEJQjgoufB9LB0S6eZyfFRX57A18aehO7rFtigiSoa8546m8oHncDmkW8YV4Jnqs6L4RKd1uAq_dwGBv4xryLp52937Rmop3uhBv6VkGpv4OzmQxeoasuzjy-ADiQ" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgryGUXxhibmYWe4dWFzs98JCNsZ4ydt4auaEfoPGVNQm-7iuAdXm5agMoIH36z7pcy63uHegYqUCjjWSKuIXF1oLASujfwC6mN_L_BWKwtCbsT1tYeMSh8XvPSrwZulTmGbzwqfAMqTsVoaqAMUKN2axbycG15v3BNotCdVZ5BcsDlP8ZXzsjNWjncBg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2176" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgryGUXxhibmYWe4dWFzs98JCNsZ4ydt4auaEfoPGVNQm-7iuAdXm5agMoIH36z7pcy63uHegYqUCjjWSKuIXF1oLASujfwC6mN_L_BWKwtCbsT1tYeMSh8XvPSrwZulTmGbzwqfAMqTsVoaqAMUKN2axbycG15v3BNotCdVZ5BcsDlP8ZXzsjNWjncBg=w214-h320" width="214" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEic9ITMq_DDN1jLpCbsazWFu0_irObxiKUa5WVx6VdDpIUlREpSanfZflZD5rPNKkH6XNsVbGf1J_CPoCouACfpXXhOM7L1bu5BrN4Yk-_XkVndnrWCwbsJzCux3UClSXEHwBRUbhHd9gHewihrfYjWCB142i4yuSBJn4cbxYSerey2V54ME5nWVew4kQ" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="2176" data-original-width="3264" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEic9ITMq_DDN1jLpCbsazWFu0_irObxiKUa5WVx6VdDpIUlREpSanfZflZD5rPNKkH6XNsVbGf1J_CPoCouACfpXXhOM7L1bu5BrN4Yk-_XkVndnrWCwbsJzCux3UClSXEHwBRUbhHd9gHewihrfYjWCB142i4yuSBJn4cbxYSerey2V54ME5nWVew4kQ" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div></div><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The rowing season, in the grand Tyee Club Tradition, was not such a great success. For some reason this past season the mature chinooks did not collect in their usual staging areas in the Tyee Pool and down along the shoreline in shallow water. However, the fish did turn up in the river in good numbers, showing again that the fish can be mysterious and the Tyee Club catch record is not a good indicator of the run size. It is always a challenge greater than ordinary fishing, and always has the unique attractions of fishing from a rowboat with simple light tackle. Even when the bites are few and far between, we live in hope and enjoy the fishing experience. </div></div></div></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

All the dates stated here are meant to be understood to mean at the earliest, if vaccination rates and lower infection rates improve as expected. </p><p> Step 1. May 25 to June 15 . Announced after the May long weekend. Many outdoor activities and some indoor activities in small groups are allowed without masks, which aligns with our fishing activities . However, travel between regions, even within BC, is not allowed . </p><p> Step 2. June 15 to July 1 . Recreational travel within BC allowed. </p><p> Step 3. July 1 to Sept 7 . Canada wide travel . </p><p> Step 4 . After Sept 7 . Near normal . </p><p> Note that there is no mention of when international borders might open . Also, there is no mention of the possibility of lower restrictions for those people who are vaccinated. </p><p> Also, FYI, I have had my first vaccination May 1, four weeks ago, which gives a great degree of protection to you, and to me . And the anticipated date for my second vaccination is July 1. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg4GVewgfZhvvtpUlAUOGpBbuYScVvwWNJ5ikRZyT22i8PeI8x83bEUDL6ALKrxBZqB2JVqMhHi-XDfm37dzF5iruOYUqX6nVHFqfdrd8wkeB2q2EiFo4Y2mn1Ijy9poy5tWR1uucedokt/s2048/DSCF3048+%25282%2529.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1366" data-original-width="2048" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg4GVewgfZhvvtpUlAUOGpBbuYScVvwWNJ5ikRZyT22i8PeI8x83bEUDL6ALKrxBZqB2JVqMhHi-XDfm37dzF5iruOYUqX6nVHFqfdrd8wkeB2q2EiFo4Y2mn1Ijy9poy5tWR1uucedokt/w400-h266/DSCF3048+%25282%2529.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; clear: both; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: center; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" style="text-align: start;"></a><span style="text-align: start;"></span></div><p></p><div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; display: inline; font-family: Calibri; font-size: small; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #515151; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
