This week on the water Chinook Salmon Fishing Open in Tofino. Chinook Salmon fishing will remain open this spring and summer in the near shore coastal waters of Clayoquot Sound Tofino. Normal regulation (2 per day, 4 in possession) will be in place in all waters after July 14th (including all offshore, normal August regulations are expected). From April to July 14th waters inside Clayoquot Sound and near offshore will be 2/4 Chinook respectively. This represents a good fishery for Tofino on an annual basis as herring, squid and needle fish are present in abundance. The science is sound that Fraser River Chinook do not travel near shore on the West Coast of Vancouver Island. The DFO model showed zero impact to Fraser Chinook in our near shore waters and zero impact in Offshore waters after July 15th.  April 18th, 2019 Looking to get out on the water this April? Try our half day private charter and mix Prawning, crabbing with salmon or bottom fishing. Its a great way to see the area, check out local the wildlife and take home a feast of fresh seafood. Give us a call for pricing and details. April 6th, 2019 Good news for the Public Halibut fishery.  A hybrid model has been accepted allowing anglers to choose between a single fish 90 -126cm (60lbs max) or 2 fish under 90cm (1 per day, 2 possession). Halibut is managed on a quota (pounds/year) basis. The Pacific halibut commission determines the quota, DFO and the Public Fishery Advisory Board determines how the Public fishery distributes the quota among anglers. April 1st, 2019
