Does anyone have any experience fly fishing for Salmon out in Tofino ? I just booked a 2 day Trip up there in 2 weeks and was curious what to expect.Thanks!

Be prepared for some exceptionally strong fish.

I have an uncle who lives in Ucluelet, just down from Tofino, and by his accounts, the coho runs have been very good the past couple of years. I made it out there one summer and we were casting off the rocks straight into the open pacific and hooking into the absolute strongest coho that I have ever encountered. The blazing speed and ferocity of the strike where out of this world.

I'll assume that you will be fishing out of a boat in protected waters, probably in Clayoquot sound or near by, and your experience will be several notches up the scale in regards to mobility on the water, available areas to fish and scenery.

Sounds like an awesome trip and one that I would like to do myself one day.

Thanks BC Steel. I couldn't be more Stoked!
We're fishing out of Weigh West Marine in Tofino from Boats in the Bay/ Coves .I'm Gathering My Clousers Now .We'll be there in 2 Weeks .Hopefully we've timed the Coho's arrival correctly!
I'm loading up on Chartreuse and White Clousers .Any tips on Fly Patterns?

Consider having poppers and a floating line too. You have the potential for finding yourself in an incredible top water bite. Especially if you're gonna have accessibility to the offshore rips.

When it gets good, and the coho are feeding on the surface, you'll be glad you did. In years past, there is times that we'll clip the hook point off at where the barb would be, creating a nub. You never hold one for more than about 10-20 seconds at most, but the thrill of being taken multiple times by feeding coho on the ocean in one cast is unlike anything I've done in the PNW. We do this because we actually get tired of actually hooking coho, and are just trying to enjoy the strike and feel of the fish for a few moments. A few times over the years, we've even had to fire up engine and physically go and pick up the pointless popper. (couldn't get it back to the boat.)

Ive seemed to notice the bigger coho love pink over white clousers and any other bigger baitfish they are used to feeding on.

Nice .I wasn't even thinking about fishing a floating rig .I'll be sure I have a rod rigged with a Popper .That sounds like a crazy fun way to target coho .Thanks a bunch for the tip!
We'll be Staying in Port townsend and looking for SRC's except for the few days we're up in Tofino .Really getting stoked !
