About Kate Rocks

Kate Rocks is an outer-exposed rock pinnacle off Kyuquot, British Columbia, rising through depths that run from 5 to 145 feet. The structure holds Lingcod, which peak from March through August, alongside Pacific Halibut in the March-to-August window and Black Rockfish that stay active March through September. Chinook Salmon move through from May to August and Coho follow from June into September, while Canary and Copper Rockfish round out the resident bottom species. Jigging with metal jigs, swimbaits, or leadhead jigs works the rocky pinnacle for Lingcod and Black Rockfish, and drift jigging the deeper edges targets Halibut over the same bottom. Trolling anchovy, herring, hootchies, or spoons covers the exposed water above the structure for Chinook and Coho during their runs.
