Pink Salmon In Nanaimo

Wading In Waist Deep Water Looking For Pink Salmon

Angling For Supper From The Rocks

 The Millstone River Is Yielding 

Good Catches Of Pink Salmon

The pink salmon are back in Nanaimo waters and these early morning anglers were sure to have lunch before long.

They were fishing at the mouth of the Millstone River in front of the Lions Great Bridge at Maffeo Sutton Park. The resident seal was also on hand grabbing an easy early morning breakfast.

You don't need a boat or a lot of flashy gear to try your hand at salmon fishing right now. A reasonably inexpensive rod and reel, a few lures, a dip net and waders if you are leaving shore. And don't forget to get your fishing license if you don't already have one, you will need a Tidal Water license with a salmon endorsement.

You can try your luck like these fellows at the mouth of the Millstone River, or on the fishing dock at Swy-a-lana Lagoon or in Departure Bay where the river enters the Bay. There was virtually no one at Departure Bay this morning with most fishermen dipping their lines at the Millstone.

It is one of the surest fisheries which should insure a successful catch even for the novice angler. So get a licence, grab some gear and warm up the bar-b-cue because salmon is on the menu tonight!
