Trip 4 at King Salmon has just ended and the biggest complaint we heard from Cape Calvert (Calvert Island): "We're not coming in, there are too many fish!"
The coho's were running rampant and most guests maxed out on halibut but left one spot open on their salmon tickets for the trophy fish Rivers Inlet is well known for. Miles Metz was not to be disappointed, landing a 38 lb. Chinook with five minutes left on their last fishing day at Marker 16. Reports were also coming in of the 50+ Chinook caught right beside him that have been recorded in that area for the past two weeks. John Zoldan, from our first trip, came up with a 48 lb. chinook at The Wall so we know the fish are at The Mouth, too.
As this report is being written, the Fishmaster has just come over the radio to announce a double header at Harold Point, across the way from Calvert Island so Trip 5 is in full swing too. Mouth trips are always recommended to guests to fill their quota of bottom fish and enjoy the fast action of the voracious Coho. Elise, Richard and James Rees know this well after Elise and James landed 17 lb. and 16 lb. Coho, respectively. They stopped at The Outpost for lunch on their mMuth trip, having heard about this beautiful spot and were not disappointed when they had the chance to experience it.
If you've ever wondered about coming to King Salmon in Rivers Inlet, our departing guests, both new and returning, can all agree that its breathtaking scenery is only overshadowed by the thrill of the fishing.
