salmon fishing in cappoquin

popsy09

with the water being so low im wasting my time in my usual stretch on the blackwater , i was thinking of getting a day ticket and heading down to cappoquin but i never fished it before not even sure where to go down there

any one fish it lately ? any tips where to go etc i like all methods but prefer spinning and worm not that confident on fly yet

i have checked the website but it seems like it was not updated since 2012 with prices etc

looking to go this saturday

I passed the straight just out side cappoquin on Sunday and there was 6 people fishing, seemed 2 were spinning and the rest maybe worms...one lad was walking away with a nice salmon of about 7-8 pounds. The post office in cappoquin in a tackle shop so maybe ring them first if you are traveling far, the lad in there give good advice.

The fish are there but its not fishing. Few are being caught. The whole system needs a drop of water. Prices as above afaik and anually about 150, though I might be wrong.
