Fishing in Tofino
You will see anglers in Tofino fishing in every body of water they can reach, each one more vibrant and productive than the last. Here you can get a taste of the Salmon and Halibut fishing British Columbia is famous for, or explore remote mountain lakes and rivers where few people have set foot before.
The endless opportunities here inspire fishermen, who continue finding new ways to reel in the most sought-after fish in BC. With so many options to choose from, it’s hard to know where to begin! Tofino fishing charters are the perfect opportunity to get it on this amazing fishery—all you have to decide is, where to next?
Known For
Tofino is a go-to destination for sportfishing off the west coast of Vancouver Island. This area is located near a vast underwater shelf which hosts baitfish and a variety of bottom dwellers such as Halibut and Lingcod. Major Salmon runs pass this way, as well, bringing all five Pacific species within the angler’s reach.
Add to that a resident Dungeness Crab community along the coastline and a fleeting visit from Albacore Tuna offshore, and there’s no telling what you might reel in here.
Meanwhile, the saltwater fly fisherman and the freshwater angler can have a field day fishing for Salmon, Steelhead, and Trout in the shallow waters of Clayoquot Sound and a series of untouched rivers and lakes in her surrounding mountains.

Rules and Regulations
Anglers age 16 and older must purchase a fishing license.
For saltwater fishing, you will need to buy a tidal water fishing license issued by the Canadian federal government, available online. A single day license for non-residents is 7.35 CAD and an annual license is 106.05 CAD (prices subject to change).
For freshwater fishing, you can also buy a British Columbia freshwater fishing license online. A single day license for non-residents is 20 CAD and an annual license is 55 CAD (prices subject to change).
If you intend to catch and keep a Salmon, be sure to purchase a Salmon Conservation Stamp (6.30 CAD). You may also be required to buy a Conservation Surcharge Stamp for other fish species, even if you plan to release them.
Be sure to acquaint yourself with local fishing regulations before heading out on the water, since many species in British Columbia have size and bag limits. Some species may be closed to harvest a few months a year (such as Halibut), and this is subject to change annually.
The best and most convenient way to follow regulations is to book a Tofino fishing charter. Your guide will take you to the most productive fishing grounds while helping you to release any fish that are not legal to keep.
Fishing Styles
Trolling is the main technique used in Tofino Salmon fishing. You are likely to use 10.5’ rods and 30 lb test line early in the season, possibly with 40 lb test line while fishing for Tyees in late summer.
