COHO FLIES ON THE SURFACE...... IN THE PROP-WASH ...... AND ARE TAKING SOME
NICE FISH !!! WE EXPECT THE "NORTHERNS" ( AS THE CANADIANS CALL THEM) TO

SEPTEMBER IS A TERRIFIC MONTH FOR BIG SALMON ANGLERS !

THE COHOES ARE GETTING BIGGER EVERY DAY ..... AND THEY ARE SLAMMING SURFACE
FLIES...... AND YES, THE KINGS CONTINUE TO OFFER ACTION AT BLUE DOT.
WE HAVE SOME BIG ONES CHECKED IN THIS WEEKEND, WITH THE LARGEST
SLAB WEIGHING 45 POUNDS.

MANY OF THE "OLD TIMERS" ARE HEADING OVER TO BC ..... CHECKING IN AT BAMFIELD
AND THEN HAMMERING BIG KINGS ON THE CANADIAN SIDE....... WE'VE HEARD OF
A 58 POUNDER BEING BOATED. THEY ARE ALSO NAILING SOME NICE HALIBUT OVER THERE.
SO, THIS IS AN ADDITIONAL OPTION FOR THOSE ANGLERS WHO SEEK ADVENTURE !

THIS MORNING, A COUPLE OF OUR CHARTER BOAT CAPTAINS ARE HEADING WEST TO THE
BLUE WATER FOR TUNA. THEY SAY THAT THE BLUE WATER IS NOW ABOUT 65 WEST OF
NEAH BAY ...... THEY HIT TONS OF ALBACORE OUT THERE ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO.
GIVE US A CALL & WE CAN ARRANGE A TUNA TRIP FOR YOU.

ALSO, WE'VE SEEN QUITE A NUMBER OF WHALES RECENTLY. GRAYS AND HUMPBACKS....
