Vancouver Island Fishing, British Columbia, Canada

Getting Here ~

We fish on both the East and West coasts of Vancouver Island! The Campbell River / Comox area on the protected east coast presents opportunities for 5 species of salmon. The West coast of Vancouver Island near Tahsis is more rugged, with more open water to fish and both salmon and bottom fish to catch! Nootka Sound and Esperanza Inlet are the places where the big salmon run and you can catch halibut up to 200 lbs!

Both Esperanza Inlet and Nootka Sound are pretty much due West of Campbell River - Click on our map for a close up view of the map and you will see the driving and ferry routes. Most people fly to Comox from Vancouver on Pacific Coastal airlines or from Alberta with Westjet, then rent a car and meet us. Flights are available directly to Campbell River from Vancouver and Seattle.

For our West Coast fishing trips, Tahsis is the pick-up location, 3 hours drive from Campbell River, or 3.5 hours from Courtenay.

For Campbell River fishing trips, we will meet you at your accommodation. Please contact us - we're happy to help you find accommodations that will suit your needs and your budget!
