When to Catch Salmon and Halibut:
The Prince Rupert Fishing Season
|
The BC fishing season on Canada's Northwest coast starts at the end of May with the arrival of the Chinook salmon, also referred to as King Salmon. The salmon spend their time here feeding to prepare for their trip to the spawning rivers of British Columbia. In these rich, productive waters we often see salmon reach a size of over 70 lbs. Salmon 30 lbs. or over are classified as "Tyee" and are the prize catch for any saltwater sport fishing angler on BC's coast. The Chinook salmon fishing stays strong through June and into July when the Coho and Pink salmon make their appearance. Coho or Silvers grow rapidly over the summer and reach a size of 20 lbs by September. They are excellent fighters and their acrobatics often earn them their freedom from less skillful anglers. Halibut fishing is strong throughout the season with last year's biggest halibut weighing in at close to 340 lbs. Most halibut are in the 15 to 25 lb range, which provides excellent eating. You never know when a monster halibut from the deep water might take your bait; the coast has seen halibut up to 300 lbs in the past. |
