Esperanza Inlet - Vancouver Island

Seems like the whole west side of Vancouver Island is nothing but "Great" salmon reports. Heard from George who is up in Esperanza this afternoon and got the run down of whats happening in this north central portion of the island. Fishing is very good for Chinook for those fishing offshore on the "Highway" lots of kings in the 22 -28 pound range. The pinks and coho are so thick that they have had to resort to larger Tomic plugs to keep the smaller species off.
There is "Lots" of bait offshore, mostly candlefish.

Halibut fishing has been outstanding for fish in the 30 - 60 pound class.
