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 :-)
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Police in Vancouver, British Columbia, say a human foot inside a running shoe has washed ashore, the latest in roughly a dozen such cases since 2007.
Police say the foot and leg bone were seen late Tuesday afternoon floating along the shore of Vancouver's False Creek.
Police so far have no theories about how the foot ended up in the water.
In the past four years, about a dozen feet encased in shoes have washed up on beaches near Vancouver, along the southern Georgia Strait and off Washington state.
Most of the remains are unidentified, although investigators said at least two of the feet belong to men who were reported missing.
In previous cases, police said it appeared the feet separated from bodies naturally in the water and foul play wasn't suspected.
