Fishing
Random
Early season spring fishing produces some quality Chinook Salmon in the 10-25 pound range. So far the best Salmon fishing has been close to Ucluelet so not a big run to the fishing grounds. Fishing the outside edge of Barkley Sound, Great Bear and out as far as three miles offshore. The fish are hunkering right on the bottom, so the gear varies between 110-150 feet deep depending on bottom depth. Using Spoons with Flashers or Anchovies with Flashers. Fish are biting on the tides but morning has been by far best.
Burbot, ling, eel pout or mud shark are just a few of the seven or so different monikers this sometime maligned and disrespected fish gets called. I, unlike a lot of folks, don’t think of them as ugly at all, but rather as yummy, battered pieces of fish candy in my deep fryer. Incidentally, the burbot is the only fresh water representative of the cod fish family in North America and it has succulent, mild tasting, white flaky, firm flesh.
