VANCOUVER FISHING INFO
WHERE TO GO FISHING IN VANCOUVER BC
There are lots of great options fishing near Vancouver, and you don’t have to go far to find some genuine world class fishing. Our guide service offers a variety of fishing trips in and around Vancouver, here’s a breakdown of where you can fishing in Vancouver…
SALTWATER FISHING
Saltwater fishing is offered 12 month of the year from Vancouver. The focus of saltwater fishing from Vancouver is targeting Pacific salmon, including chinook and coho, the two most popular sport fish. Saltwater fishing is good as salmon return to local waters to migrate up the Fraser River, BC’s largest river which flows through the city. Prime time for a salmon charter is April through September. On the off-season (October to March), there are still opportunities to catch salmon and in the Winter months there is good crab and prawn fishing locally. Bottom fishing is limited and heavily restricted around Vancouver. There are some times of year when lingcod can be caught and kept but this is a small window.
FRESHWATER FISHING
Within an hour of Vancouver you can catch steelhead, salmon, trout and sturgeon in the freshwater. There are loads of places to go wet a line, including numerous lakes close to Vancouver and some larger river systems. Popular months for freshwater river fishing are March to May and September to October. During the Spring you can catch steelhead on the Squamish and Vedder rivers, as well as bull trout. In the Fall months, mainly October & November there is salmon fishing on all local rivers. During the Summer there is trout fishing on local rivers and lakes. Our guided fly fishing trips focus on the Squamish River system north of Vancouver. We enjoy year round fishing here with runs of steelhead, coho salmon, chum salmon, pink salmon and a resident bull trout population.
On the Fraser River there is world class white sturgeon fishing. This is a one of the most popular freshwater fisheries in British Columbia, offering excellent fishing for the biggest freshwater game fish in North America! Sturgeon fishing is generally at its best from mid April to mid October, although the season can extend later. If you’re ready for some sore arms, then this freshwater fishing won’t disappoint.
