Just want to say that Ukee fishing this year,was lights out!!, world class fishing,I'm sure bigger fish were caught all of ours were high teens,low twentys, though on an earlier trip my buddy got a 31,on Saturday we has 10 double headers!!!!come on!!!! fish are so hot they hit like freight trains. Big thanks to my friend for being kind enough to allow me to share his boat,his time,and this amazing experience!!! Thanks Captain!! Can't wait for next year,great times!!
Likely these are 3 year olds, that's when they shut down a bunch of FF's. Pinks and sockeye are pretty abundant too.
Next couple of years should see the "slabs" (many over 30 lbs) coming back as the four and five year old's make it back. If they still have restrictions then teens and light 20's get thrown back.

Picked up a nice spring at Amphitrite point, handed it to my 70 year old father in law and it was peeling line. He stuck with it and had the biggest fish of his life in the net 10 minutes later.
One more as we cleaned up just a 10lber or so. Ran to Amphitrite Point and threw down a white hootchy and my son was on within a couple minutes, two speed slow pitch rod and reel worked like a charm. 97cm Hali in the boat and a pretty excited 6 year old. Trolled for another half hour without any bites but gear was a little tangled, so could have been more out there. Had a little whale show, as we cleaned up with the engines off and then headed home.

Nice work. Amphitrite bank or point for the hali?

Bank! I'm just learning Ucluelet. The same gear that worked in Tofino worked for me today.

We decided to come to ukee last minute and I’m glad we did, the fishing is insane, 5 double headers, lots of teens and low twenties. We are sleeping in and getting out late and still limiting four licences in under 2 hours. This is what they say it was like 50 years ago. Only two days in of our 6 day family trip looks like we need to stop fishing and go eat some crab on some beach somewhere. 
Really loving Ukee.

Does anyone know any spots around the broken group that we could try for Dungeness? The kids really want crab…

Unreal night bite at Wya. 13 springs in one hour! Complete pandemonium! All springs were 16-18lbs.
Good to hear. Maybe new schools moving in after the rain on Wednesday.

Red can and Wya.
Still strong for spings and coho!!
9 spings and 3 Hatch coho (8:30-11:00am) at Wya.
Our other group was 8 springs and 2 coho from red can.
This evening, Wya gave us another 2 spings (6-7:30pm)
Lots of catch and release for us happening.

Glad to hear. I'm taking some friends out Friday - Saturday. Historically, I've found it to be really tough fishing labour day weekend. Fingers crossed it says hot.
