Here's what to expect
year-round in the
Ucluelet area: |
|
February, March, and April - Fishing provide scenic
inshore adventure on the waters of Barkley Sound. You'll be fishing winter
Chinook
(8-18 pounds) amongst frolicking gray whales, sea lions, and
soaring eagles! An abundance of rockfish and lingcod have accumulated
over the winter and 50+ pound halibut have begun their inshore
migration.
May and June are the months
to venture offshore, stalking chinook to 20+ pounds and halibut
averaging 20 pounds - unless you're surprised by a "leviathan"
hundred-pounder! Coho appear during this period, and continue
their run into September and October.
July and August are red-hot
months for salmon, and continue to provide excellent halibut
adventures. This is when we see the runs of mature Chinook, with
fish averaging 25 pounds and possible "Walter Class"
encounters of 50+ pounds.
September is the best
month to avoid crowds and enjoy the remaining runs of mature
Chinook and Coho. Some of the biggest Chinook and Coho (15+ pounds)
can be caught at this time. Halibut continue to offer opportunities.
October to January can
bring stormy weather. But there are still winter Chinook to be
found. So if you're the rugged type, or you can't manage a getaway
any other time of year, we're open for business!
