Another season is behind us and we consider ourselves fortunate to guide in such a rich fishery that also has incredible scenery. Ucluelet is one of the top places to catch salmon and halibut in the world and 2022 was a very good year to remember.

It is close the the end of season for us but fishing continues to be strong. We have been getting some great catches of halibut and coho at Big Bank and also there are still some Chinook coming through in close to the rocks. Halibut limits have increased to 2 per day which saves us a trip offshore on our multi-day trips- a win for the planet and our pockets with the high fuel costs.

Chinook (King) fishing in close to shore remains hot and the bites are happening all throughout the day. Chinook, Coho, Halibut and Lingcod fishing are all strong.

Fishing has been stellar through the first part of the Stamp River run coming through Ucluelet and this continues to be a hotspot on Vancouver Island. Normally there is a dropoff late July in close to shore and all the fishing happens offshore.
