SALT WATER FISHING

Barkley Sound encompasses a large area on the rugged south-west coast of Vancouver Island and is home to some of the best saltwater fishing in B.C.

Chinook and coho salmon  as well as chicken halibut are abundant, with the occasional halibut nearing 100 pounds or more. Catching limits are common.

Our 27 foot Larson Boat includes all up to date navigational features, fishing gear and comforts. Your catch will be professionally cleaned and bagged on return to the harbour. All you need is a fishing licence.

A typical day includes 8 hours on the water beginning at 5:30 A.M. to early afternoon. Why so early? Eighty percent of fish are caught at daybreak, a window of opportunity no serious fisherman will ignore.

Your guide, Larry Beyko, member of the Bamfield Chamber of Commerce, has been fishing the waters of Barkley Sound for 10 years and possesses an intimate knowledge of the area.

Larry can arrange for whatever accommodation you may require. Bamfield contains a motel, numerous bed and breakfasts, waterfront accommodations, etc.
