Hey there,

I was in Barkley Sound 8/11 - 8/14. It was my first time fishing here, but I feel I was pretty prepared and well informed. I, and most everyone else in camp, had a very hard time. Fishing was very slow with our boat taking in about one Chinook a day. We fished the wall, Kirby, Beale, Swale Rk and a little bit in the ocean. Kirby produced the best for us, but I hear that the ocean was doing a little bit better. From my understanding, it should get exponetially better in the next week or so. I'm kicking myself for not waiting until the end of August...next year maybe Labor Day weekend.

At any rate, check out fishtactics.com. The fishing reports for Barkley, Bamfield and Ukelette (sp) are updated every few days. Good luck!
