Fishing BC Presents: Citizen Science and Chinook Salmon Around Sidney, BC

BC's salmon fishing guides have deep roots in communities up and down the coast. In recent years, these passionate anglers have been assisting in the collection of vital data on chinook salmon populations. This citizen science is critical in order to better our understanding of their migration patterns and run timing.
In this feature we join guide, Jason Assonitis of Bon Chovy Fishing Charters, as he explores his home waters around Sidney, BC. A place where his family has fished for decades.
