fishing report for Ucluelet - Barkley Sound  


Ucluelet / Barkley Sound / West Coast Vancouver Island


by Salmon Eye Fishing Charters

Fishing in 2009 created many good memories for anglers who decided to participate. While fishing in many areas has been good this season, Ucluelet B.C. has been exceptional for Chinook and Coho.

Most of the ways we catch salmon and halibut here is by trolling hutchies, spoons, anchovies or large tomic plugs. We trolled plugs and large spoons with no flasher between the angler and the fish, which many people loved because it allowed the fish to fight longer.

We have been catching 15-45 pound Chinook during the summer, mostly up through mid August.

The Coho have also been plentiful, biting at anything we use. Sometimes, while trolling, we can't even go for a full minute without a Coho on the line!

Halibut fishing has been alright; not as good as many other years, although we did limit out on most days. Since the daily limit was raised to two halibut during August, that reduced travel time for bringing in the total carry limit.

It's been a great summer; we love the constant bites and coolers full of fish. All of our guides have been having similar success, as the area has been hopping for the last several months. Currently, we are still bringing in Coho and halibut.
