GETTING THERE
Reached from the Port Renfrew waterfront and the gravel pullouts along the estuary road; walk out onto the tidal flats on a dropping tide and fish the channel edge. Footing is soft mud and gravel, so watch the incoming tide when wading the bars.
HOW IT'S FISHED
Casting spoons and spinners on the tide change
