Fishing Charters
Vancouver Island, British Columbia,
Canada
Salt water fishing and fresh water fishing are popular activities on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.
Fishing has been a main source of trade and food on the island since the early days of the the First Nation people. Many of the coastal communities have been fishing villages or trading
posts dating back to the early 1900's. So fishing is in our blood.

All fishing charters provide a boat, fishing equipment, lessons and a guide. Depending on the amount of time fishing on the water guides will provide a lunch and an unlimited supply of hot coffee.
The fishing operators provide a wide selection of services. There are some fishing charters operating as fishing lodges or fish camps which may include additional servcies like accommodations, transportation, storage freezers, restaurants, pubs, entertainment and fish preparation stations.
