Was in Tofino recently and while I've seen videos and Rod's trip report, you don't realize how much action there is until you do it, at least that was the case when I was out.
Hooked into at least a dozen fish even into a solid 25lbder, and some Halibut, which we interestingly got while going for salmon at no deeper a 100 feet. Is this common? Didn't really get the chance to ask our guide. Also I'd say about half the salmon we got were hatchery, presumably those are bound for the Columbia, but this still seems like a large percentage of our catch. Are our fisheries that reliant on hatchery production?
Anyways, I had an amazing time. Went with Lochie at Tofino fish guides who was clearly very experienced and knowledgeable and also well-connected to the other guides to get us the beta on where the fish were at. He is also an avid whitewater kayaker/fly-fisher and talked about how this gives him access to some amazing fishing water, something I think I'll have to try.
