As more and more information comes in about salmon runs, it seems many river systems had record numbers this year...northly rivers are getting more accurate numbers and it seems like the Central Coast numbers (which we fish) are extremelyyyy good...won't know exactly until about november when DFO gives out the approx. return numbers.
Campbell and Quinsum Rivers had record pink numbers...shattering the previous records. This year over 800,000 pinks compared to the previous record of 457,000!!!!.
I believe this is a great indication of how amazing the Chinook and Coho fisheries will be in the upcoming years...as Pink have 2 year cycles, Coho have 3 year, and Chinook have 3-7 year cycles, so the next few years should be phenomonal for them...plus due to 2006 returns of Chinooks and outgoing juvenile Chinook numbers the past couple years (which have been record numbers in many cases) 2010-2013 look to be some unfreaking real fishing....I can't wait!!! Especially with how great the fishing was this year!!!!...It should be even better...which is mind boggling!!
Yeeehawwww!!
