August 10th Report Posted 10 Aug 2008 IN: General BY QCL
 The Tyee bell continues to ring frequently on the QCL dock these days with good solid Chinook action showing up at some point every day. Green and Klashwun Points have been the hot spots, accounting for much of the total catch - both Chinook and Coho. Herring and anchovies are producing well when fished down at depths of 35 - 45 feet. The surface water temperatures have come back up above 50 degrees F again and the feeding activity has risen accordingly. Lots of big fish are in the mix still with several mid-30 to mid-40 pounders landed. The newest members of the QCL 50-Pounder Club are both Driftwood anglers - benefiting from that extra time on the fishing grounds! Sano Stante boated a nice bright 50-pounder on Monday while Dan Stante weighed in a 53 today. Congratulations guys! Lodge guests were thrilled this weekend with the presence of hockey legends Bobby Hull and Richard Brodeur, sharing the best kind of quality time together out on the water. Head guide Greg Ettles kept them busy with lots of great salmon action, including 6 Tyees - two of them over forty! The hockey greats enjoyed the lodge environment as well, sharing stories and making time for all of us who hearken back to the glory days of the great game. The weather picture this week doesn't look quite so bright with strong southeasterlies predicted and some liquid sunshine to go with it. Tides have been minimal lately so the water will be moving a little more every day through the week. |
