Last week at Queen Charlotte Lodge
Catch The Fish of a Lifetime at QCL!
Several guests at Queen Charlotte Lodge have been catching chinook over 40 pounds last week! The question is, when will you be hooking into YOUR monster chinook or coho? Better yet, between the fish battles on QCL’s guided boats, you could get a chance to snap some photos of the other behemoths of sea, Humpback whales.
The great folks at at QCL like to keep me updated as to what their guests are experiencing at their Lodge. Here are some of the highlights from The Kingfisher Report at Queen Charlotte Lodge:
August 14
Greg McCoach boated a nice 44 pounder Friday but it wasn t quite enough to beat Joe Phillip’s 46 pounder. Paul Reid released a beauty that taped out to 37 pounds – great job Paul! Ross Wilmots 45 was the big fish on Saturday. Nice flat water on Sunday should see lots of boats offshore after Halibut and schooling Coho…
August 18
With sunrise coming a little later these days there is a certain urgency in the dining room at breakfast. The staff is hustling just to keep eggs in the pan! Everyone wants to be on the water as soon as possible to capitalize on an awesome morning bite. We are getting Chinooks just a little farther from shore this week, usually down about 40 feet in 140 feet of water… First timer Andrea Dietel and her husband Chris, fishing with guide Mike Borelli have had a great time catching Tyees – a 35 & 37 on Monday, 32 & 48 on Wednesday. Jeff Lund boated a beauty 40 pounder early in the week while Jessica Eussen, fishing with her dad Remy and guide Mike McLennan, landed and released an awesome 43 pounder off Parker Point. Well done Jessica! Burmah Martin has 3 big Tyees so far in her trip with 39, 40 and a 33 pounder which she chose to release. Lots of fish in the mid 30s are keeping the Tyee bell ringing every evening…
August 21
The flat water and blue sky combination provided one of those dream days to be out on the grounds. Some anglers took advantage and ventured offshore to watch the Humpbacks feeding steadily on needlefish and krill, a totally awesome experience that really should not be missed…Gonzalo De Braganza took the lead early on Friday, choosing to release the biggest salmon of the weekend, a chrome bright 45 pounder at Parker Point. Great job! Tony Vigini boated a nice 38 while Preston Kelts managed a 33 and a 38 pounder on his first day. Tia Walsh celebrated a beautiful 37 lb Chinook on Saturday and Brent Lobson came to the scale with a fat 40 pounder. The perfect water conditions had everyone fishing Halibut and Tom Levesque found a 69 pound reward Saturday with guide Derek Poitras out off of Eagle Rock…
