COASTAL FISHING
From the moment you leave the dock, you will likely not finish your coffee before you arrive at the fishing grounds. Beginning in mid-August, Coho salmon are abundant and willing to chase a well-presented fly. Tides and Tails Sport Fishing Adventures specializes is a multitude of salmon and bottom fishing methods, with fly fishing for Coho salmon being a unique challenge for the saltwater angler. Amongst the schools of dime-bright Coho salmon are the occasional Chinook, Sockeye and Pink salmon. Coho salmon tend to swim high in the water column, making them a prime target for saltwater fly fishing. Using a variety of herring and baitfish imitations on sinking fly lines, their thunderous grabs and aerial display are what make Coho such a pleasurable species to target on the fly. Port Hardy is located on the northern reaches of Vancouver Island, and provides numerous salt and freshwater fly fishing opportunities in a serene setting.
