Campbell
River
The waters surrounding the Campbell River area are very sheltered
and offer calm seas, along with great fishing. There is no ocean swell
(a common cause of sea-sickness), which makes for a very pleasant
fishing trip. The waters of Campbell River’s Discovery Passage
and Johnstone Strait between the BC mainland and Vancouver Island,
are such that they funnel the Salmon as they migrate by.(Shown on
our travel page map)
All
5 species of Pacific Salmon pass through this area between May and
October on their way to their natal rivers to spawn. The opportunity
to catch all 5 species of Salmon is an opportunity, which many other
fishing areas can’t offer. Downrigging, light tackle, jigging,
fly fishing and more; the opportunities are endless. We will fish
a style that suits you!
Nootka Sound
The
waters of Nootka Sound and Nootka Island, offer some the west coast's
best fishing for Chinook Salmon(King), Coho Salmon(Silver) and bottom
fish such as Halibut, Ling Cod and Snapper. The hard battling Chinook
average 25 lbs with fish in the Tyee class (over 30lbs) not uncommon,
while the acrobatic surface fighting Coho will average 10 lbs. Downrigging,
light tackle, jigging, fly fishing and more; the opportunities are
endless. We will fish a style that suits your wants! You will fish
aboard our 22'-25' covered fishing boats enabling you to enjoy your
experience in comfort while fishing the big waters of the rugged west
coast. This is a serious fisherman's paradise!
Your
Nootka Sound fishing trip starts mid-day on the first day with a pickup
in the small town of Tahsis, BC. Tahsis is a 2.5-hour scenic drive
west from Campbell River and has been regarded by many guests as a
spectacular opener to their trip. After arriving in Tahsis and loading
your gear it is a short 15-minute boat ride to the very private setting
of Steamer Point Lodge. One of the only land based lodges in the area,
Steamer Point offers our guests a very comfortable experience after
a thrilling day of fishing. After unloading your bags at the lodge
we head out on the grounds for the evening bite. We return just before
sunset, where a mouthwatering home cooked meal is awaiting us. Each
day we get up early to a hot breakfast and head out on the water for
the day with our packed lunches. We will fish the morning of departure
before returning to Tahsis for the midday shuffle, where outgoing
guests greet incoming guests.
