SOCKEYE SALMON
Salmon fishing in British Columbia can be spectacular! In fact, the Fraser River in B.C. is the largest salmon producing river in the world with huge runs of Chinook Salmon ( King Salmon ), Coho Salmon ( Silver Salmon ), Chum Salmon, Sockeye Salmon and Pink Salmon. The timing of the runs often over-lap and it is frequently possible to catch several species in the same day. They can be readily caught fly fishing, drifting, mooching, spin casting or with ultra-lite tackle.
Sockeye are pound for pound one of the strongest fish ever caught on sport tackle. When hooked they simply go nuts! They are incredibly fast and often spend more time in the air than in the water. They can be relatively easy to catch on light tackle and are abundant in numbers from July to mid September.
