Kyuquot Sound, July 2nd - 5th 2016
« on: July 06, 2016, 06:51:42 PM »

We just got back from fishing in Kyuquot with Murphy Sportfishing and it was once again an incredible experience. I'll post up some photos later once I have a chance to rest my body. ;D Here's a video of the halibut I caught on the first day.

Nice fish. I think you need to embark on an exercise program to bulk up. :)

Too funny, I was there July 02-05th as well, stayed at the flat above the store at the Government pier. Fishing was hot as hell, we limited out within a few hours on all our species. Hali fishing was on fire, here the biggest I got, lucky too, just within the legal slot.

Nice fish MM! ;D We caught and saw others catching fish all just under the maximum size limit during the trip.

Some wildlife pics from the trip. Fish photos later.

Just recently back from my Kyuquot Sound trip, July 14 -17.
 As Rod says its a trip of a lifetime. Getting your limit of all species is a no brainer here. You fish in solitude as there are no other boats in sight except for David's and the guide service based in the village.

Wildlife everywhere, sea otters, sea lions ( had a 20 lb salmon get bit in half on the hook by a big bull ), sun fish ( huge fish ) and orcas. The orcas were hunting the sea lions, watched them manouver down wind below the sea lion island. Caught some Blue sharks,amazingly how blue they are. Largest spring was 31.5 lbs on the dock scale, caught on a jig, largest halibut in my group 48lbs.  Fantastic ling cod fishing, used a kelp ling tied on with string to catch lings as they wouldn't let go of the bait as we reeled them up. David says its blue coloring is from a high diet of crabs. the flesh goes white when cooked.

Spent the last hour on one of days to fly fish black sea bass with clousers. Food is super,Matt the chef (not a camp cook ) delivered gourmet meals  each day. The guy really knows how to cook fish.

The whole operation is run as well as those high end pricey fishing resorts. You and your fish are numbered and entered in a catch log so there are no lost fish and the guides know what species and how many you need to limit out for the next day.

I've already booked for next year. It's well worth the money and if there is a sell off ,even a better deal.
I don't have to post any pics as Rods tell the whole story.

Any flyfishing for salmon out there? I'd love to target coho in the salt where there's more than a few fish.

Maybe later in August?

Last year when we were there in early July, we had some incredible chinook salmon fishing close to shore in less than 40ft of water.

This year, thinking that we would find similar fishing around the same area, I brought a bunch of spinning gear so we could cast and retrieve for these. Instead all of the good chinook salmon fishing was fairly far off-shore, 6 to 10 miles out so that wasn't really possible.
