Spring is springing on the south-west coast of Vancouver Island. Still no solid fishing reports out of Port Renfrew, but there's some signs of life.

Trevor from No Bananas Fishing Charters passes on a rumour of some Port Renfrew locals catching some very early season spring salmon off Camper Creek ... limits of high teens to low twenties fish. So the season may be starting sooner than you think!

Early season weather is always iffy, with some winter-style storms still marching through. So if you do head out there for some fishing, make sure you check the weather reports carefully. Safety first!

Good luck out there!
