AUGUST FISHING BRITISH COLUMBIA

THE BEST BC FISHING TRIPS IN AUGUST

August is a fantastic month for a fishing trip in British Columbia. There are a ton of great options, both freshwater and saltwater, that span the entire province. Regardless of where you go there is the opportunity to get out on the water! August is easily the busiest month of the year so planning early is key if you have some specific dates in mind. Here is a rundown of the BC fishing trips you’ll find in August…

AUGUST SALMON FISHING IN BRITISH COLUMBIA

Your timing is excellent! Saltwater salmon fishing is at its peak in August, you’ll have great fishing for Chinook and Coho salmon coast wide. This really is the best overall month if you’re looking for some seriously good salmon fishing on the ocean. There are lots of options, you can choose from a guided charter somewhere or get yourself some dates at one of BC’s many saltwater salmon fishing lodges. If you’re looking for a day charter head over to our BC Salmon Charter Listings page, it has all the best operations on Vancouver Island and southern BC. One of our favourite August spots for a salmon charter is Tofino BC on Vancouver Island’s central west coast. If you’re interested in a lodge package then there are lots of options and we book trips for a variety of lodges. If you’d like you can even come fish with us at Langara Island Lodge, this is an awesome August salmon fishing trip and should be on the list of any serious angler! Langara offers spectacular fishing, lodging and is located on one of the most remote sections of BC’s north coast, a great trip for all!

AUGUST FLY FISHING TRIPS IN BC

Are you looking for a cool fly fishing trip somewhere in British Columbia? There are some fun options but it also really depends on what you’d like to do. If you’re interested in steelhead and salmon fishing you’ll want to look north, to BC’s Skeena Region. The Skeena River offers fishing for salmon and steelhead during the Summer months and our flexible Skeena River fly fishing packages can fit any schedule and most budgets. For a remote lodge program there is the Dean River steelhead packages. These trips take place on BC’s central coast. The Dean River is world famous for its summer-run steelhead, some of the hottest brightest fish on the entire BC coast! If you’re only looking for a guided fly fishing day trip, then there are some options out of Vancouver and Whistler. Some good Pink Salmon fly fishing can be had on odd years (2019, 2021, etc) on the Squamish River.

FISHING NEAR VANCOUVER IN AUGUST

You don’t have to go far or spend lots of money to enjoy some quality fishing in BC. There are excellent options right from Vancouver. You can choose from a saltwater salmon charter, a river fishing adventure for huge white sturgeon or a fly fishing trip on the wild rivers north of Vancouver. All easily accessible from the city and great for anyone looking for an enjoyable day on the water. Salmon fishing charters leave right from downtown Vancouver, minutes from all major hotels and 10 minutes from the cruise ship terminal.  If you’d like to experience more of a wilderness trip there is trout fishing on some of the smaller rivers north of Vancouver, these are fun trips for anglers of all abilities. Sturgeon fishing on the Fraser River is a ton of fun and you’ll be fishing for the biggest freshwater game fish in North America. This fishing is unique to British Columbia and August is an excellent month for sturgeon fishing on the Fraser River.
