This time of the year is considered prime time for sports fishing here on the west coast of Vancouver Island. Fantastic inshore and offshore Chinook salmon, Coho salmon and halibut fishing, often only minutes from Ucluelet, make for non-stop action.

Large mixed runs of Chinook salmon, Coho salmon and halibut begin to migrate and feed in the Ucluelet and Tofino inshore and offshore areas, following thick balls of baits such as herring, pilchards (sardines), needlefish, squid and krill - all favourite delicacies of both species of salmon and the halibut as well .

Ucluelet has the most consistent and dependable fishing on the British Columbia coast due to its location and access to the migrating salmon and halibut, and the nutrient-rich offshore and inshore water.

Successful catch limits of Chinook salmon, Coho salmon and halibut are normal for this time of the year. Chinook salmon average from 5 to 50 plus pounds while halibut are generally 15 to 40 pounds on average.
