Fishing off Esperanza, Nuchatlitz and Tahsis Inlets is excellent for deep sea fishing and saltwater fly fishing.
Large spring or Chinook salmon migrate down the west coast of Vancouver Island on their way to their spawning grounds in the rivers of Vancouver Island and the coastal mainland of BC, by way of the Juan de Fuca Strait at the southern tip of the island. Salmon fishing begins in May and runs through to September, with the peak Springs run in mid August - Pin Rock and Black Rock off the entrance to Esperanza Inlet are popular spots for Springs.
The shelving bottom around Catala Island provides good bottom fishing, with halibut tipping the scales at between 40 and 200 pounds.
