We're not talking about any old fishing trip here - this is your chance to tangle with the king of Pacific salmon while soaking in views of the stunning BC coastline.

What to Expect on the Water

Picture this: You're cruising out of the harbor as the sun's just starting to peek over the mountains. The air's crisp, there's a light chop on the water, and you can almost taste the excitement. Our seasoned guides know these waters like the back of their hand, and they're itching to put you on the fish. We'll hit prime Chinook hotspots, from the mouth of the Fraser River to the productive waters off the Gulf Islands. Whether you're a seasoned pro or it's your first time wetting a line, we've got you covered with top-notch gear and all the local know-how you need to land a wall-hanger.

Trolling Tactics & Gear Rundown

On this trip, we're all about trolling - the bread and butter of Vancouver salmon fishing. We'll be running downriggers to get our bait down where the big boys are cruising. Expect to see a spread of flashers and hoochies, maybe some cut-plug herring if that's what's working. Our boats are decked out with state-of-the-art fish finders, so we're always on the money. Don't sweat it if you're new to this style of fishing; our guides will walk you through everything from setting the depth to playing a big Chinook when it hits. And speaking of gear, we're talking premium rods and reels that can handle anything these powerhouses throw at you.

Target Species Breakdown

Chinook Salmon, aka King Salmon, are the stars of the show on this trip. These bruisers are the largest of the Pacific salmon species, and they put up a fight that'll have your arms burning and your heart racing. In Vancouver waters, Chinooks can range from scrappy 10-pounders to absolute monsters pushing 30 pounds or more. They're here year-round, but peak season hits from July through September when the big boys are staging for their spawning run. What makes Chinooks so special? It's not just their size - it's their raw power and the way they'll peel line off your reel like you've hooked a freight train. Landing a big Chinook is a bucket-list item for any serious angler, and there's no better place to do it than right here in Vancouver.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Look, there's a reason Vancouver's got a rep as a world-class salmon fishery. It's not just about the fish - though trust me, the fish are epic. It's about the whole package. You're out there with the city skyline behind you and the wild Pacific stretching out ahead. One minute you're watching seals pop up to check you out, the next you're in a full-on battle with a chrome-bright Chinook. Our trips are all about giving you that local edge. We know where the fish are holding, what they're biting on, and how to present it just right. Plus, with only four people on board, you've got plenty of elbow room and tons of personal attention from the guide. It's the kind of experience that turns first-timers into lifelong fishing addicts.
