The Chinook fishing has been quite hot the past 10 days with a couple slower days just recently. The local run of 15-30lb Chinook has been good along close to shore and there have also been some good bites at Outside Lighthouse, Southwest Corner and the Wreck. There are quite a few Coho and smaller Chinook on Big Bank. We expect the inshore fishing will be good through early September.
Halibut fishing has been a little spotty and we are mostly getting them around the tide change at Big Bank and the Wreck. A few are also being caught up on Long Beach Bank. Ling cod are a favorite of mine and those can be caught in close to shore.
We are booking packages for next year so make sure you get you spot very soon if coming in the busy season from June - September.
If you are looking to get last minute accommodation for Ucluelet or Tofino check out www.tofino-info.com. Accommodation has been tough to find for July and August though may get slightly better for mid September.
