Hi all,
At the ferry and off to Tofino for the Willie Mitchell Fish for the Future coho derby. Had a blast last year staying at Tofino Wilderness Resort. Last year was tough fishing and landed only one coho Sunday which turned out to be 15.5lbs and won the derby. Pure luck. Lol. Money goes to a good cause to help with fish habitat in the Tofino area.
Normally I do t do derbies as people will cheat and do anything to win most times but this derby is a catch and release. Once you get the fish in the net you call a weigh boat and they zip over, take you net, rod and reel and measure the fish. Then release the fish and give your net and gear back. Also a beer to go with it. This is the best derby I’ve ever went in and the people are great. I think we will have to wear the “Cow” costumes again this year.
Cheers, Rob
