2025 Nanaimo Reports

Hit Thrasher yesterday for a mid day troll. Not a sniff and it looked like everyone else was having the same experience. Pulled up and headed to Entrance and ,managed to scratch up 3 hatchery coho out of 6 brought to the boat. Wild fish released in the water in good shape. All fish at 115 feet. Anchovies were the favourite.

Heading to thetis island for the weekend and there is a boat setup there, any tips on where to do a couple morning/evening trolls relatively close by?

Not sure what side you're on, but Porlier isn't far from the back side or from the passage. Should be some coho out there, but check regs for chinook closures.

Thank you.

Thank you.

No worries. Not sure what kind of boat you're going out in, but if it's something small be aware of currents and conditions when going through there to fish the outside. 10 knot current out + wind blowing in can make for a dicey situation when it happens.
