Vancouver Island Fishing Report Archives

Guest Comment

"We have been coming out to Tofino for 6 years in a row now, each year we book Jay for at least 1 or 2 days of fishing.

We thoroughly enjoy going out with the guides, they are personable and always willing to go that extra mile to find the fish, plus they are always willing to add some variation into the fishing, be it Chinooks, Coho or Halibut.

Something we from Alberta, always appreciate. The accommodations are top knotch, comfortable, self contained and close to the harbor.

Each year I try to bring out 2 or 3 different people who I know will enjoy the experience."

Vancouver Island Canada Fishing Description for PRTA Visitors Guide

Saltwater Fishing

For the small coastal communities of Tofino, Ucluelet and Bamfield B.C. , fishing has always been a major attraction, with fish and seafood stocks creating the backbone for their growth many years ago. These rich aquatic resources continue to attract Sport Fishermen from far and wide, providing world class angling opportunities for mighty Chinook salmon, acrobatic Coho Salmon, powerful Halibut and a variety of fascinating bottom fish species.
The world famous inshore waters of Clayoquot and Barcley Sounds, create an unbeatable combination of scenery and habitat for anglers to focus on abundant stocks of Chinook and Coho Salmon that are aggressively feeding among the reefs, sandbars and kelp beds. This has become the stage for the growing ranks of saltwater Fly fisherman and other light tackle enthusiasts to enjoy some of the best opportunities on the British Columbia coast of Canada.
Local guides are equipped and eager to host visiting anglers for a safe, productive and memorable experience on the waters of the Clayoquot and Barcley Sound areas.

Freshwater Fishing

As a great option, the remote and pristine mountain lakes and coastal rivers of the Clayoquot and Barcley Sound areas provide anglers with a variety of unique, world class Freshwater fishing opportunities.
Small to medium sized runs of Winter, Spring and Summer Steelhead can be caught on flies or light tackle throughout the year, complimented by a variety of Rainbow and Cutthroat Trout in the same clean clear watersheds that meander through the coastal mountain valleys.
Breathtaking scenery and great fishing is common for those that choose to experience a day on a Fly-in mountain lake for Rainbow or Cutthroat Trout.
An experienced local outfitter can ensure a great day for your group with detailed preparation, planning and top quality equipment, making a remote freshwater fishing experience a highlight of your Canadian Pacific Rim vacation.
