<div>
	When you&rsquo;re in need of the ultimate Salmon showdown, there&rsquo;s no better place to go than Vancouver Island. And where better to begin than Nanaimo? Just a two-hour ferry ride from Vancouver, this town is the perfect mix of civilization and wilderness. The city life is full of diverse events and festivals, while the mountain forests of central Vancouver Island lie only a few minutes away. Nanaimo has long been the underdog of the area when it comes to sportfishing, but the locals know that this place has amazing Chinook Salmon fishing year round.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<h3>
	What to Expect</h3>
<div>
	Chinook Salmon is the main star of the show, being the most consistent and biggest species in the area. You&rsquo;ll usually target them by drift fishing with a weighted line or trolling with planer boards and downriggers. Chinook Salmon is an aggressive, feisty, and tasty trophy worth fighting for. But if you really want a challenge on a higher level, get into the Tyee Club &ndash; this prestigious membership is earned by catching a Chinook over 30 pounds.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Salmon follow migration patterns, which makes their timing and route very predictable. The early run starts at the end of June, when they pass right in front of Nanaimo. The peak season lasts until the end of October, which is when you can catch all types of Salmon, including Coho, Sockeye, Chum, and Pink. Being right on the Strait of Georgia pass, Nanaimo gives you the chance to catch all this without traveling far.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	But it&rsquo;s not all about Salmon. Crab fishing and prawning are great year round, especially during winter. You also have great chances of catching Halibut, the main prize of bottom fish, especially in the spring and summer. Don&rsquo;t let Lingcod&rsquo;s monstrous looks discourage you from targeting it, as its white meat is a true delicacy.&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<h3>
	Need to Know</h3>
<div>
	Fisheries in Canada are divided into <em>areas</em>, each with their own regulations. Nokomis falls under area no. 17 &ndash; make sure you&rsquo;re familiar with the current rules before heading out on the water since these can change every year.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	All locations in British Columbia require a valid fishing licence, which you can get online from the Canadian National Recreational Licensing System. If you want to keep some Salmon you catch, you&rsquo;ll need to include a Salmon Conservation Stamp.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	The Nanaimo fishing scene offers great trips for both novices and experienced anglers, you just need to decide how long you want to stay on the water. After an exciting day of fishing, treat yourself with the famous three-layered Nanaimo Bar trail and try one of the local craft beers!</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
