Hey there, just have a few questions that maybe some of you can help me with.
I am headed to tofino the second week of march for a week of fly fishing and surfing, and was wondering for one if anybody can help me out with places to fish for cutthroat, as i have never been there. Looking for somewhere close as i will be with my wife and kids (they wont be fishing) so i have to be somwhat readilly available. Would like to try to fish some mouths of creeks and whatnot going tinto the pacific, as i hear that is good out there.
Also do i need any special fishing licsence to do this or is my regular one fine? And last but not least any fly patterns that you guys would suggest as i have never fished sea run cutties before.
Thanks
Carlo

Not sure on rivers out that way but your regular license is fine as long as its tidal aswell. As far as what they bite, you will want something to imitate fry such as rolled muddler,muddler minnow and the many others. Good thing about cutties is they eat anything put infront of their faces. Ive got them while pink fishing using handlebars and also leeches(green seal seemed to slayem). good luck

there is a fly shop in Tofino, get in touch with them

best of my knowledge it's mostly saltwater by boat or boat or fly to freshwater angling. Kennedy Lake has some good cutthroat fishing and there may be some accessible beach fishing along the North shore of Barclay Sound on the Torquart Bay road.

Ocean perch off the beaches is another possibility.

Not sure how this is stillwater. Might get more response in the fly fishing forum.
