Think Pink. The Eve River Estuary, lying north of Campbell River on the way to Port Hardy, is becoming a well-known spot tofish for Pink Salmon from shore and estuary. A little challenging to find but worth it. If your timing is right it’s a very productive and scenic fishery. A worthwhile little side-trip for experienced anglers.
