Rigged with a hootchie on one line and an anchovy on the other, both salmon lines, trolled at a depth of 35 feet, snapped simultaneously from their downriggers. We were salmon fishing offshore Kyoquot Sound or “Place of Many Winds,” a First Nations village located on Vancouver’s Island’s rugged northwest coast. When the salmon are migrating through the area, the action can be awesome.
