Fishing Recap 2022 Ucluelet BC - Vancouver Isalnd
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.

Fishing Report Sept 12, 2022 Ucluelet - Vancouver Island, BC
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.

The salmon fishing in close to shore has exceeded expectations for June. Normally there is a slow down in June for some areas close to shore and it takes a bit to figure out where the fish are. This year has been much different and coho are starting to show up not very close as well.
