I have several friends in the fishing charter business that have top of the line fishing boats! Tofino has great fishing all year round, however June, July, August and September are the best times to come and catch Chinook salmon, Coho salmon, the occasional sockeye, halibut, lingcod and a variety of other bottom fish. I have to say, the guides I know just happen to be the best Tofino fishing guides Tofino has to offer. They are dialed into catching salmon and halibut, as well as having crab trap sets to pull to finish off the day!
