Trip Summary

Well folks, it’s officially the start of the 2025 season, and oh boy are we starting this year off strong. Nanaimo is seeing an excellent early run of fish to kick things off, coho and springs are in abundance these last few weeks. Tons of fish all throughout the water column, best results for coho is 80-120ft I recommend white and green hoochies or silver/green spoons. For springs I fish a little deeper, set your gear in the 160-200ft range for best results, it doesn’t matter what you put down as long as its green. Theres a lot of smaller fish kicking around but you will find the odd lunker in there with them, I’ve been seeing fish in the 8-12lbs range every day this week. Good luck and tight lines
