About Your Trip

Cold river water, hard-fighting fish, and a full six hours to work with. This Port Alberni trip is focused on Chum Salmon, Coho Salmon, and Steelhead, with your guide reading the river and adjusting the approach as conditions change.

Rather than sticking to one routine, the day is built around finding productive water and making the most of what the river gives you. You’ll fish aboard a 25-foot Pursuit cuddy cabin with GPS and a fishfinder, with space for up to four anglers.

All fishing gear is provided, so the packing list stays simple. Bring sunglasses, sunscreen, weather-appropriate clothing, and any personal items you want for the day. From there, it’s six hours of river water, changing conditions, and time spent chasing some of British Columbia’s toughest fish.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.
After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
