Vancouver Island Sport Fishing, for centuries, has always been a popular eco activity on the west coast of Canada drawing thousands to the island, year round, for Salmon, Halibut and/or Trout. What you may not know, is that the the ocean, lakes and rivers on the west coast of Canada are ranked as one of the best places to fish in the world for Salmon, Rockfish, Lingcod, Halibut, Shellfish, Char, Steelhead, Rainbow & Cutthroat Trout & Bass.

Sport Fishing on and around Vancouver Island varies depending on when each season opens and if you prefer lake and river fishing to ocean fishing. The weather, the migration of the fish and human activity - all play a big part in the local recreational fishing industry.

A good outdoor fishing guide, proper navigation equipment and a reliable boat are key to an enjoyable fishing trip... even more important is to make sure a fishing licence is purchased prior to your trip because without one your sunk and the trip is done before it starts.

Fishing Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands of BC Canada under clear blue skies, serene calm waters and no breeze is common in the summer... but not everyday year round, so be prepared and dressed for the unpredictable ocean currents and tides, fast flowing rivers carrying uprooted trees and heavy torrential rainfall can sometimes play into a British Columbia fishing experience.

Many of the coastal communities have been fishing villages or trading posts dating back to the early 1900's. Throughout the ocean channels and up the inlets and snuggled up tight against cliffs and forests in the coves and bays of Vancouver Island are many fishing resorts, remote eco lodges and fish camps.

People from all around the world come to Vancouver Island looking for that ultimate rush in salt water fishing by reeling in a 30 lb. trophy salmon or a deep sea 200 lb. halibut.

Fly rod fisherman wander our forested trails and parks navigating the outback leading to mountain lakes and rugged remote wilderness rivers so to fish looking to reel in a big trout or steelhead.

On and around Vancouver Island the fish are plentiful, the memories are real and the chances of success of catching a west coast fish are high.
