- Salmon Fishing in Chile. Where to go and what to do? It's a great question. We went down to Chile to fish with our friends from "A La Pesca" a locally produced fishing show.
We were joined by Rob Alcock of Gibbs Fishing and decided to give our hosts an in depth course in downriver fishing, a style of fishing virtually unused in Chile. In part one of our amazing trip we stayed a small seaside town and got an authentic Chilean experience while fishing hard from sunrise to sunset targeting King (or chinook) salmon on down riggers.
Let us know what you think of the episode! Part Two coming VERY soon.

Best is Mo saying "Denada" in the most Canadian/hockey accent ever hahaha
Wow, what a cool experience! Thanks for sharing it with us Mo!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Lucky you, I've been following what's happened in Chile for several years. It took less than 50 years for 20,000 Cowlitz River hatchery smolts to colonize an entire continent's worth of watersheds. I'd love to go there but I'm just a poor slob on disability.
It's very impressive how the salmon have survived and thrived there.
@@ReelWestCoast I read a 40-page study published in the late 1990's on how this all came about. They did DNA analysis on a wide range of Chilean watersheds. They all had the Cowlitz code sourced from one abandoned salmon ranching experiment. There are some lessons to be learned on a wide spectrum related to our own salmon enhancement and conservation. Too bad the Canucks went down in game seven. :)
@@allancrow134 Hi Allan, Hector from Chile here, do you have any info about this study, I would love to read it, thanks!
Old school mooching with that live bait on the right spots should be gang busters
Just curious if they said they did extra well with you guys running your gear, or if they usually do well on their own?
The boys from "A La Pesca" are very passionate anglers and helped set this whole thing by reaching out to Gibbs Fishing years ago and starting to run their gear. They have been finding great success with it compared to the methods they were using before. We definitely helped them get more dialed in and shared some best practices. Also, it was their first time using teaser heads and bait which was very cool for them.
You guys had some great days down there. Looked fun
Would have been great to see you cook up the fish Chilean style.
Next time!
I you didn’t tell us this was in Chile I’d swear this was in BC. Live your channel from the Outaouais region in Québec.
It seemed very similar to BC for sure and at times it would almost feel like we were in Clayoquot sound. But then a penguin would jump out of the water and remind us where we were! Thanks for watching.
@@ReelWestCoast lol a penguin would do it. My buddy has a charter in Pender on the Sunshine Coast BC. I’ve got to get back out there soon. Cheers
I've been waiting for you to do this!! Excellent!!!
Hope you enjoyed it!
I never expected Chinook salmon so far south. The thumb nail is an enormous salmon
awesome fishery cool you a catching Sierra and salmon together
Those Sierra look a bit like a Wahoo, very cool!
Yeah they're pretty wild to see in person! Thanks for watching.
Look like Wahoo & Ribbon fish.
This is so sick b-mo. I saw some local Chileans river fishing catching monsters about a year ago. No idea they had them. I thought they were up here lol it was a 50 pounder. I asked the UA-camr where he was and yup chile 🇨🇱. This is a wicked video! Also do you guys have an online store or anything like that?
We have some gear available online from hatchmatchr on their website. Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed the video!
love it you are lucky thank you from Bamfield
Thanks for watching!
@@ReelWestCoast you are welcome maybe i see you in Bamfield this summer im at the first dock
Not a fan of the holier than thou attitude against the catch and keep Chilean fishermen. The pacific salmon foundation released a study in 2021 which revealed that catch and release chinook suffer a 30% mortality rate. When you guys do your videos where you catch and release 30 chinook to keep fishing instead of taking the first one or two per the BC regs, all the stress on the released fish result in the death of about 9 of them and have a much greater impact on populations than the catch and and go home guys.
Really not sure where the "holier than thou" part came. Maybe something was lost in the presentation. It was just a simple conversation regarding their philosophy and way of life. We also wanted to express to viewers why there were no releases.
Also, this summer will be our 4th year participating in the study that you referenced and there are multiple videos on our channel showing us going out with the researchers in the study and testing different angling methods to figure out their relation to incidental mortality. We have a few episodes on this issue on our UA-cam and it's very informative and interesting, definitely check them out. Thanks for watching!
There's plenty of other studies saying that catch and release has very minimal effect on fish.
I can make up a study right now and post it online saying whatever I want, it's pretty easy to turn into some sort of university or college real quick.
@@calebd4317 As one that has a degree in Fisheries Sciences from a major university, I find most of the stuff people put on the interwebz pretty entertaining, not to mention mostly incorrect. Everyone is a freakin' fisheries scientist on the web. Only a very few of us have an actual fisheries degree on our walls.
Settle down
@@ReelWestCoastgreat response! I hate when people get triggered.
