SALMON FISHING

Salmon fishing off the west coast of Vancouver Island offers a variety of species:

 

• Chinook are the primary target. The season begins in April, and their size typically increases as the season progresses.

 

• Coho season starts on June 1.

 

• Chum Salmon return to rivers in late September and October, weighing between 10 and 18 lbs.

 

Winter salmon fishing is possible, but it's weather-dependent. The salmon are always present, providing a spirited challenge.
