2025 Ucluelet Fishing Reports

[uclueletcharters]

Happy New Year everyone, I look forward to providing Ucluelet fishing reports in 2025. Today the weather wasn’t great, crabbing has been okay more males are starting to be caught. For a while lots of females were filling the traps but there’s a better mix now with some nice clean keepers. Looking forward to chinook fishing in the sound once these bad weather systems pass.

A pic today heading out of the harbour.

Thank you! I was dreaming of an early season Ukee trip driving the island highway today.

Excellent. I've been staring at the harbour from the other side waiting for the swell to drop too. Had some small fish off the usual nearby spots during our nice weather bump last week.

Anyone been out lately? Have some friends in town and figured it would be nice to have a go with this weather, looks like the humpbacks are staging offshore, hopefully the fish aren't too far behind!

I’ve heard there’s been some nice winter chinook being caught. Not sure exactly where didn’t ask but I would try the Great Bear tack, Red Can or if you’re up for a run try down around swale. Been wanting to go out but the snow and cold weather has caused some procrastination lol. There was ice in the harbour today here’s a pic of seagulls out front of our house standing on it this morning.

Thanks for the update!
Broke ice on the way out yesterday. Hit up great bear before the SE started coming up, one shaker on a big shooter/Wee G combo. Headed in to little beach to get out of the wind and hooked into a nice 6-7lb fish and lost one other that felt smaller, both on the same setup. A few humpbacks out and some birds on bait balls. Feels like the herring are coming in early?

Herring are spawning Salmon Beach area right now

Good action out there cookie cutter size fish, limits yesterday and today. Tons of bait balls. Really scrappy fish.

Cooler pics each day
