The coho and chum salmon are out front of the Sooke River and around the corner from Billings Spit, jumping all over the place. Anglers are fishing from shore and from boats...it is tricky to lure them to bite, because they aren't actively feeding any more, but some lucky anglers are catching good ones. Keep in mind the regulations update -- single hooks ONLY inside Sooke Harbour.
