Salmon

  • Chinook - (King/Spring) are the big guys and in the Nanaimo area year round. They really start to show in numbers and size beginning late April following the herring fishery, throughout the summer and into September. 
  • Coho - (Silvers) more of a summer, fall fishery in the Nanaimo area. They appear in abundance in August into fall.

Lingcod

These snake like, big mouthed ferocious predators are a blast to catch. Traditionally found at rocky outcroppings hiding in dens, we love to stop and jig for these amazing creatures. We also find them while trolling for salmon. Probably the best eating fish on the west coast.
