Sounds nice on the salmon. Fellow fisherman mentioned they were hooking nice 'nooks even as close as about 5 minutes out from the lighthouse marking the inlet (Nootka). So they weren't traveling offshore much with things still open close in and good fishing (think that was maybe a week or so ago).
I didn't realize they go to minimum 1 mile offshore fishing restriction regs in short order. That would probably crowd up the 'highway' more in places like Bajo when that goes into effect.

People down here are excited to see a 2nd year in a row of opening Baker Lake to sockeye retention Good to see one dsalmon fishery doing fairly well. We don't get many opportunities for sockeye around here so it gets people excited.

No idea how the Fraser sockeye runs work/how strong they might be. Was it last year where the sockeye were thick?

I'm still waiting patiently for the pinks to come by the local pier and then some bigger salmon into the Columbia tribs where I can try to get at them.
Good luck. I know U will get bigger 'buts than those little buggers
