Tofino / Ucluelet Fishing Report:

Preparing for the main Season

February 14th, 2008

Happy Valentines to all you fish lovers.

We hope that your valentines day has had a little spice, and of course a dream or two of chrome Salmon and powerful Halibut coming at you, or should I say running away from you this season.
I have to admit, with the west coast weather still providing a fair bit of what has provided success to the Storm Watching Resort options, and the delay of Halibut Fishing in B.C. until the beginning of March, I have other dreams in my head. I have not abandoned my passions for Winter Chinook and my favourite late Winter-Early Spring Steelhead on the Fly, I just keep thinking of Sunday morning.

I might be a little travel weary, and ready to sleep in as there will not be an early Hockey Game to coach or e-mails and calls to answer, but the concept of wearing shorts and sandals, and walking down the beach in Mexico with Fly rod in hand and Coffee mug in the other will drive me out of bed faster than a Coho Salmon chasing Needlefish.
Yes, my dreams have changed focus lately to Dorado, Tuna, Sailfish and Roosterfish. Warm weather Blue Skies, a happy family and a cold beer,,,,

As many of our regular guests can attest to, the spring summer and fall seasons don't allow a whole lot of family time, and especially time away from the boats, the tackle shop and meetings. With more and more discussion about fish and fishing going on around the dinner table, we felt that a trip to a warmer climate would be just the venue for some great memories to unfold.

Ironically our head Guide Blake is going to be nearby in Mexico testing Surfboards and Fly Rods, so we will likely get to share some fun in the sun with him, and see if we can make some of the dreams come true.
Hopefully two weeks will be enough, as my 9 year old son Ben says he is not coming home until he catches a Dorado. I told him to practise his spanish just in case.

I look forward to providing some photos and a quick report when we return, but in the meantime, Megan is in the shop ready to help with your inquiries and bookings for the coming season. Fire us an e-mail or call the toll free number listed on this site.
