Sooke Fishing Report, August 13
Salmon fishing in Sooke has been hot and cold in the past few weeks, but appears to have heated up in the last couple of days. Reports are coming in of good bite times, with lots of fish being caught.Neil from Salty Towers reports plenty of action from Possession Point down to Muir Creek, pictured with a bunch of nice Springs caught with Mark Price and gang.
Some recent reports from the Sportsfishingbc forum:
