Dear Jay,

I wish to sincerely thank you and your team at Clayoquot Ventures for your outstanding performance during our incentive program to Tofino in June 2005. I heard rave revues from those participating in the fishing event! From the numerous boxes that were shipped home at the end of the program, I believe everyone was extremely successful with catches that far exceeded their expectations.

The fishing trips were well organized and executed. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. It was a pleasure working with you, and I wouldn't hesitate to request your services again. I highly recommend Clayoquot Ventures!

Yours sincerely,

Tofino Vancouver Island Spring time fishing update

March 29th, 2007

Finally,,,,Finally things are looking more like spring on the west coast of Vancouver Island. The month of March has been not quite as bad as the rest of the winter, but still great to have it behind us. Numerous Freshwater and Saltwater trips were either diverted to different dates or cancelled due to the weather.

When we did get out, fishing treated us pretty well. Chinook Salmon fishing was fair to good in the inlet waters of Clayoquot Sound, with most trips heading to the Sydney Inlet area near Hot Springs Cove. Clayoquot Ventures guide Derek Fraser hosted 3 keen young guys from the Shuswap region of interior B.C. for a morning of Salmon fishing on Sunday the 25th. After fishing offshore for a few smaller Chinook, Derek pointed the Right Hook towards Wilf Rock for the incoming tide. This choice proved to be the right move, as they found a couple more prime "feeder" Chinook Salmon in the 18 lb. range.

Another hearty family group from northern B.C. endured some tough Northwest winds during their trip with Derek this week, but came back with some nice "feeder" Chinook Salmon for there efforts. The sun was shining all day, which helped the group enjoy their trip considering the winds which supported the high pressure system.

This coming weekend will see the Derek and the Right Hook on the water for Chinook and Halibut for numerous trips, and we hope to have some fresh photos to share. Fortunately the forecast is looking pretty good.

On the Rivers lately, the rains in the late part of this month have shut us out of a few remote Steelhead trips, as there has been too much rain and snow melt at the same time, bringing the rivers up high and fast.

Our last few trips have been good for Steelhead fishing, and Trout fishing has been getting stronger as well. Salmon fry are just starting to show in these remote river systems, and will encourage the Trout to become more active, for both resident and Sea Run Cutthroat, as well as the resident Rainbow Trout.
