Jolly Rogers Update: Port Renfrew Fishing June 27, 2009
Good fishing lately! The halibut fishing on Swiftsure Bank is steady, lots of "chicken-size" halibut. The good news is the coho fishing is great. They are smaller, but really scrappy and lots of them. We are having fun using lighter gear with them, and getting some more of a fight....try fighting a 6 pound coho on a fly rod, and you'll be a while bring that one in!
The spring salmon fishing has been steady too. A few nice sized ones here and there, but a pretty regular bite for medium sized chinooks.
All in all...Port Renfrew fishing for late June is fantastic, and probably only going to get better. The early season coho are an excellent sign for later this summer...as they fatten up, should be a super late season.
Come on out for a west coast Vancouver Island fishing adventure!

Below are some recent pictures from guests: Chet Heater and family, David and Cathy George from Idaho, and 3 generations of Connolly’s from Alberta. Good times!
