Hidden Cove Camp: Seasons

More appropriately, season, singular!

The silver salmon generally begin trickling into this small coastal river sometime in mid to late August, and by early September their numbers are filling many of the pools. Though in some years the fishing remains excellent well into October, we consider the prime weeks to be those inside the month of September. Late August can be excellent, but depending on the year, can also be a little sketchy, for numbers of fish. Generally speaking, the first 3 weeks of September find the river stacked with ocean-bright silvers, with a few colored up specimens; the last week of the month usually sees about a 70% chrome/30% colored fish scenario, though the later you are there, the more fish in the river, typically.
