Fishing

For generations, fishing in the Tofino area has been a major attraction, with fish and seafood stocks helping create the backbone for Tofino's growth and the sustenance of local First Nations. These same rich aquatic resources continue to attract Sport Fishermen from around the world, with the Pacific Rim region playing host to one of the longest seasons of consistent Salmon fishing in BC. Saltwater anglers can experience the thrilling pursuit of Chinook and Coho Salmon, as well as Halibut and various fascinating bottom-fish species, with breathtaking backdrops of the coastal mountains or the wide open Pacific. The diverse habitat and protected waters of Clayoquot Sound provide an ideal setting for light tackle or fly fishing enthusiasts, within a short distance from Tofino harbor.

Freshwater anglers have the unique opportunity to fly in to the remote lakes and streams of the coastal rain forest. Native Steelhead and Trout species provide the challenge and battle, with your memories captured and the bounty released for another experience. Clayoquot Sound continues to shine as one of British Columbia's premier fishing destinations for anglers of all ages and experience levels.
