Fishing Report: July and August 2024 with Stop Drop And Troll Adventures
The summer months of July and August 2024 brought exceptional fishing opportunities in Ucluelet, British Columbia, with Stop Drop And Troll Adventures leading the way.

July marked the peak of salmon fishing season, with chinook (king) and coho salmon dominating the scene. The cooler waters offshore were bustling with activity, and many clients landed impressive chinook salmon, some weighing over 25 pounds. Coho salmon were equally abundant, offering fast-paced action and thrilling battles. Stop Drop And Troll Adventures’ expert guide ensured everyone had the best chance of success, whether trolling along the edge of Barkley Sound or venturing to hotspots like Long Beach and Big Bank.
