Esperanza Inlet Mid-May Fishing Report
A group from Alberta on their first day of catching May 7th.
Westview Marina & Lodge
May and June are the months when those who understand the West Coast of Vancouver Island (WCVI) cannot wait to get to Esperanza and Nootka. Why? Because there are plenty of large Chinook and Halibut in close to the mouths of both bodies of water and, no matter what the weather, one of the two are fishable.
If the wind/weather is coming up island, fish Esperanza. Peculiar Pt., Arnold Rck, Double Is, Rosa Harbor, Blind Reef and the world famous Ferrer Pt. are all solid locations for catching.
If the wind/weather is coming down island, you can fish Nootka. Inside of Saavedra Inlands, The Lighthouse, Wash Rck, inside of Maquinna Pt., Beano and Callicum creek area will all produce Salmon in May & June.
