2025 Tofino Reports

Not a fishing report but a question on parking at the ramp in town. It’s been quite a while since I’ve been to Tofino and even longer since I’ve launched a boat there. But looking at doing a boat trip from there this spring.
Can you park a truck/ trailer for a few days or what are the concerns there nowadays ?

I don’t believe you can park for an overnight. In the summer/spring break or overflow weekends then the school. Contact the principal for payment/donation, schools always need the money and principals to for drinking.

TRM might let you park in their gravel lot for a fee. I’ve parked there before. If it was the summer they would say no, but being in the spring there’s a good chance of leaving it there.

The school is closer to the ramp

Totally worth it. Lots of salmon traveling through that time of year. Either spot can be great that time and both have beautiful scenery and fishing spots. Good time of year to get both Hali and Salmon. I like hitting the Lennard lighthouse and then a few spots up the coast. @Charter Tofino can give more insight but if you are staying in Tofino I would definitely get a charter to see it from a different perspective.

Our first wave of consistent Chinook usually show up around June 15-20th. Squid usually light up around the same time. It’s right on the cusp on prime time but definitely worth a trip. Almost all of the Tofino outfits run a quality program and are worth reaching out to see if they have availability.

Thanks for the input guys. Looks like I'll have to get something booked.

Some old buddies came to visit the island so I did the tow out to Tofino and dropped in at Tofino resort marina. We got a day offshore Friday and hooked a couple Hali. Then it was miserable over the weekend and we got stuck searching for some inside spots. Shout out to “slim Grady” guide who shared some intel and we ended up with 2 salmon caught. Thank you! That was pretty sweet as only my second time boating that area. These guides got it dialed….. I do wish I had a bow thruster for that Marina , my parking skills with the wind and current really got tested, near pro now…..

Got out with a buddy for a long day sat and a short morning Sunday. We went north west and managed to get into lots of springs. Early morning bite at the bottom was the best. Glow white hootchi, lighthouse spoon with an orange yellow inside and my 10 year old AP Sandlance got the only hog of the trip.
