Fishing Canada can be one of the most exhilarating fishing vacations you could ask for, especially here in Port Renfrew.  While on your Canada fishing trip here in Port Renfrew you will see and feel the adrenalin that Chinook salmon can produce for the angler. Chinook Salmon (Kings) will strip line from the reel with ease,  try to stop the Chinook from its runs will end in Chinook 1 angler 0.  It is the play of the fish in which anglers come from the World over to experience here on their Canada Fishing Trip.  Canada Fishing Trips for Chinook salmon vary from location to location; here in Port Renfrew we have an opportunity to fish Chinook that are still in the prime of their lives.  We also have Chinook that are nearing their natural spawning rivers.  These fish will move up and down the coast with the tides this give us as anglers an opportunity to catch them on a flood or ebb tide.  Location is key.  Fishing in Port Renfrew will offer anglers offshore fishing for Chinook as well as a shallow water fishery along the coastline.  Both fisheries can offer an angler what Canada’s West Coast is known for its Fantastic Fisheries.

  Chinook Salmon fishing offshore can be in one word outstanding. While on your Canada fishing trip here in Port Renfrew you will see why our offshore fishery is so popular with anglers.  First we do not use flashers or bait offshore we use Tomic Plugs or Tomic Spoons.  This keeps the drag down on the fish so their energy level stays high for a longer time, in turn giving you a longer fight.  Although when fishing the coastline you will find the Chinook fight hard in the shallower water. The flasher in front of their face can make the Chinook take outstanding first runs. Offshore Chinook are very bright and clean salmon as they are not near their natural spawning rivers.  We also catch what we call Ivory Chinook (Ivory flesh) this is to do with their diet.  It has a higher content of fat, but the good type of fat full of omega 3.  These Ivory Chinook fight hard in fact they are the best fighting salmon out there, not sure why but my guess is that their diet of Herring, Anchovies and Squid makes them work harder for their food.  With other Chinook we see them feed on krill and shrimp more so than Herring, Anchovies and Squid, not to say that red flesh Chinook will not take an easy meal of Herring and Anchovies.  As anglers we know that is not the case, but your bait must look injured.
