Tofino / Ucluelet Fishing Report:
July 2007
July fishing outlook for Tofino B.C. Vancouver Island
July 4th, 2007
July is an excellent time to fish a variety of Saltwater and Freshwater species in the Tofino B.C. area, with great summer time conditions
to compliment the whole experience.
Whether you are venturing to the offshore waters for Chinook, Coho or Pink Salmon, or fishing for Halibut and Bottom fish is your main focus,
the offshore areas from Tofino are a great option.
Your main interest may be fly-fishing or angling with light tackle for Coho and Chinook salmon in and around the protected inshore waters
of Tofino/Clayoquot Sound, then it is now a prime time to get out there. The experience of a fly-in freshwater excursion for Trout among
the pristine mountain lakes or coastal rivers might even rank highest on your list, regardless, the Tofino-Clayoquot Sound area is a great
multi-optional angling destination. The combination of aggressively feeding Salmon along the coastline, with relative protection and close
proximity to the harbor, offers saltwater angler’s great opportunities for some of the finest Salmon action on the Vancouver Island
coastline.
The 2007 season’s forecast of stronger returns of Coho than in 2006 is proving to be true, and the mid-late season forecast for WCVI
Chinook Salmon in the 4-5 year old class is also very strong, many anglers should experience great times on the water.
The varied contours of Tofino’s near shore bank system provides ample habitat for Halibut in the 20-60 lb. range, within a very close
proximity to the protected waters of the Sound. A local abundance of Sardines and Needlefish helps attract these hungry flat fish to the
12-14 mile wide shelf just off of the Tofino B.C. coastline.
Fly casters love this time of the year as most everything in the saltwater box can potentially entice a violent strike from feeding Coho
salmon. Remember that a little bit of Krystal flash or Glow flashabou really livens up your fly patterns, often making a big difference.
Our top producing Clayoquot Clouser, and our special Clayoquot Bucktails both include Glow flashabou in a variety of colors.
For fishing year round in the Tofino area, whether you need the right gear and info, or to hook up with the right guide, Clayoquot Ventures
is Tofino’s resource for all your angling needs. We look forward to helping you with any and all questions in arranging a memorable
fishing charter in the Tofino area yet this summer.

Fishing Reports for July
July 29th, 2007
The lack of fishing reports for the month of July has nothing to do with a lack of fish to talk about, in fact just the opposite!!,,,,
We have been going non stop this month, which is not uncommon during this peak part of the season. Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon and Halibut
fishing reports will be on-line within two days, after a day off with the family out of town.
We will be highlighting just a few groups that we have hosted over the past month to give a good idea how solid our fishery has been in the
Tofino/Clayoquot Sound area waters, with an emphasis on the phenominal inshore Salmon fishing we have been experiencing, complimented by
masses of hungry Coho Salmon taking all kinds of light tackle and flies.
