About Your Trip

Spend eight hours working the waters of Barkley Sound for Chinook and Coho Salmon, with forested islands, rocky shoreline, and open Pacific water stretching out around you. It’s a full day built around covering ground, reading the conditions, and enjoying one of British Columbia’s classic coastal fishing settings.

You’ll fish from a 25-foot Pursuit cuddy cabin equipped with GPS and a fishfinder, giving up to four anglers a solid platform for a long day on the water. Your guide will adjust the game plan as conditions change, focusing on the areas that give you the best shot at finding active fish.

All fishing gear is included, so you can travel light and settle in for the day. Bring sunglasses, sunscreen, weather-appropriate clothing, and whatever personal gear you’d like for a comfortable day outside.

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.
