Kyuquot Sound Fishing Report

By Dave and Marilyn Murphy, Murphy Sportfishing | Last updated: July 31st, 2017

Chinook Salmon

The run so far has been about average compared to the last four years. It has not been the bump of the decade as predicted yet, but there is still time! We have had to work harder at it to get limits.

The wind this past three weeks has been strong daily which has hampered our far offshore reach. Looks like a change is coming this week which will be welcomed by all!

We have been using bait more often this past two weeks with long leaders. The Chinook have been plugged full of tiny bait, so small spoons and short squirt hootchies have also been producing.

Halibut

It has been an exceptional season for halibut. Nice averages in the overs in particular has provided some key volume for a lot of anglers coolers this season. The chickens have been the hard ones to find! They have been finicky off tide, but when they have come on they have been quality. Anchoring up and waiting for them to pick up the bait scent has been the best for the big ones, if you are willing to invest the time!

Coho Salmon

These beauties are just starting to show themselves. Nice size too. There was not an offshore presence of Coho yet this season so just some bonus ones here and there. They are starting to hit the shoreline now with a few a day surfacing within our Chinook fishing efforts.

Tuna

The Tuna water is starting to form just as expected and by the trend it should be on que for our Tuna trips which start next week. Stay ``Tuned``!

Call us anytime for the latest conditions! We enjoy helping anglers plan their trips with or without guides.
