Ucluelet Fishing Report August 6, 2010


Posted on August 6, 2010 - Filed Under Fish, Fishing, Fishing Report

The prime time to fish here is all summer – well not quite, but since we fish three areas there is usually somewhere to catch salmon and halibut. Most recommended times are December to June for the feeder Chinooks and some halibut starting to show in Ucluelet around mid May May – September for Halibut in Ucluelet and large numbers of Chinook(King) salmon.(they run all summer). July  – September 10 in Ucluelet for large Kings July, August and September for Coho in Ucluelet Ucluelet has been very hot the last few years and is expected to continue for this year. If you are trying to decide what time in the summer to come, any time between May and September is good. While June, July and August are peak months, May and September can still see good action as well. Many people are concerned about catching fish, so one thing to note about Ucluelet is that it is not like some other areas that have really slow times and really good times. We have a large area to choose from and there are so many fish travelling past, that you almost always have a good shot of a good days fishing, whether coming in May, June, July, August or September. Ucluelet, BC Right now…. Salmon fishing continues to roll in some nice fish. We aren’t seeing as many salmon over 30 lbs this year as I would have liked, but we are getting lots in the 15-25 lb range. These Chinook are mostly bright and are producing some great fights (clients are complaining of sore arms!) Chinook (King) salmon hotspots are continually moving around this year and you have to be “in the know” for the latest spot. We have been getting some good action on South bank, Inside Lighthouse bank, Southwest Corner and Big Bank. A good bet if you want Chinook over 20 lbs would be fishing Southwest corner or the Starfish. The commercial fleet just finished a 3 day opening and reported getting some nice fish in the Southwest Corner area from 20-70 feet down. While fishing Southwest corner, use plugs or large Tomic spoons if you are marking Pilchards. Sometimes if fishing is slow on larger lures, you can always go back to fishing 4-5 inch spoons. Pearl spoons are very consistent, so if you don’t know what to put down, that is a good bet. The halibut have been in a few different spots and we have been finding a few places closer in which has been nice. Big Bank is the most consistent and trolling is the easiest there right now.
