Fishing Report Ucluelet BC July 12, 2022
Posted: Tue Jul 12, 2022 11:12 amFishing has been insane the past 10 days and the weather dreamy. There are periods of time where you look back and realize you just had something really special. We don't take these moments for granted.
Fishing has continued to be very good for both Chinook and halibut during morning and afternoons. One of the hotspots for salmon has been just outside the harbour at the Red can and the afternoon bites here have been so good its almost been like fishing Big Bank . I will say you need the right gear to have down or you may just be catching the odd fish and small ones.
Halibut have been good in quite a few different spots and seem to be on the bank in good numbers at Inside and Outside Light, Inside and Outside Sount bank, SW corner and the Barnyard. The great thing is that right now you don’t have to run that far to get them.
Lingcod fishing close to shore has also been better than it has been for quite a while. Five inch herring and needlefish have been in the stomachs of the salmon so there obviously is something attracting the fish in these area.
Normally there is mostly small bait in close to shore but this year its seems there is something more attracting the fish and keeping there. Fish are biting on small spoons and needlefish hutchies like normal.
You can check out Ucluelet-Info.com or get one of our fishing packages available at https://www.salmoneye.net/site/fishing-packages.html. We have very little ocean view accommodation but still have some cabins available.
