These west coast ports on the amazing, unspoiled and rugged west coast of Vancouver Island provides anglers access to an offshore salmon and halibut fishery that is unrivaled anywhere in the world. This exceptional salmon and halibut fishery provides our clients with angling memories that British Columbia is famous for.

Just being out on the open Pacific Ocean off of Tofino or Ucluelet is truly a breathtaking experience to remember. Then throw in the thrill of catching wild Chinook Salmon (Kings), Coho Salmon (Silvers) and Sockeye Salmon that migrate in huge numbers off the west coast of Vancouver Island. These migratory wild salmon are veracious feeders and gorge themselves on the immense schools of baitfish consisting of krill, herring, needlefish, anchovies and pilchards prior to spawning in their native coastal rivers and streams.

This amazing fishing experience is one that few other areas in the world can match. More information...

Sockeye Salmon are known the world over as the tastiest of all the five salmon species. This amazing annual event provides an angler with Sockeye Salmon fishing action that one can only dream about.

In Port Alberni, our salmon fishing charter boats regularly hook into as many as 10-25 of these tasty sockeye salmon during most June and July mornings. The powerful Chinook Salmon arrive in the Alberni inlet in huge schools during early summer and on to Port Alberni during the mid to latter part of August and into September. The largest of the five salmon species, the Chinook can be a handful for even the most seasoned salmon angler. Chinooks in the 25-35 lb range return every year by the tens of thousands. Arriving with or just behind the Chinooks are enormous numbers of feisty Coho Salmon. These acrobatic salmon are, pound for pound, one of the most exciting salmon one can hook into.
