Heading there quite soon, wondering if there is any targeting of salmon from land there going on presently?

From what I can tell from the regs, you can currently fish for Salmon in the Nanaimo River as long as its only catch and release. I could be wrong though and am interested in this myself.

I believe it has to say No Fishing for Salmon or No fishing for Coho otherwise you can fish but not retain.
