Had a great time last year when fishing for Salmon at Bronte near hwy 5. Landed several fish above 15lbs and of course released them afterwards.
Well, tried again today with a buddy and we decided to try Petrocan Park for a change. Wow! hundreds of Salmon and not too many people compared to what I'd thought there would be. You have to understand that Bronte is a very narrow creek at points but then it gets really wide once you get closer to the peir, so seeing that many fish was crazy.
I hooked a couple around the 20lb range but lost em in the fight. Anyone that has never gone, its a tonne of fun and an incredible fight. plan on releasing them, because they are not the best tasting out of the creek since they are there to spawn and die. there's also the odd large Brown trout as well.
Good luck and be safe!
