The October 10 Campbell River report puts peak-run coho in the 10-15 lb class tight to Discovery Passage's protected shorelines and inshore shelves, with chum in the same feeding window. Bait balls are boiling in the quieter pockets, and spoons and bucktails worked along their edges are producing. The specific connection depth is 30-45 ft, not a bottom-fishing program. When bait shows on the sounder, slow down and work the school rather than passing it. Johnstone Strait can carry chop in a northwest breeze; the reported fish concentrations are in sheltered water. This report gives no specific tide window or leader length. A separate Oct 9 trip report records a chum taken in Seymour Narrows at 80-120 ft on hoochies behind flashers.
