British Columbia is home to some of the most spectacular saltwater fishing in the world. From the sheltered fjords of Howe Sound to the exposed Pacific coastline, BC anglers have access to an incredible variety of species, scenery, and experiences. Whether you’re visiting from out of province or a BC local looking to explore new grounds, this guide covers some of our favourite fishing spots along the coast.
Howe Sound, located just north of Vancouver, is one of the most accessible and productive fisheries in the province. The deep, cold waters of the sound hold healthy populations of Chinook salmon year-round, with strong runs of Coho appearing from late summer through fall. The dramatic mountain scenery makes it a favourite even on slow fishing days. We run many of our half day and 3/4 day charters through this area.
Bowen Island sits at the mouth of Howe Sound and acts as a natural funnel for salmon migrating along the coast. The rocky shoreline and kelp beds around the island hold excellent populations of rockfish and lingcod, particularly during summer and fall. We love running private charters that combine fishing near Bowen Island with a lunch stop at Snug Cove.
Indian Arm is a narrow glacial fjord that extends northward from Deep Cove, just east of Vancouver. It’s an underrated fishery for Chinook salmon, particularly for anglers looking for a quieter, more remote experience close to the city. The surrounding mountain wilderness makes it one of the most visually stunning places to fish in all of BC.
During peak salmon season, the waters around the Fraser River delta and Roberts Bank can be incredibly productive for Chinook, Coho, and Pink salmon. The nearshore kelp beds also hold significant populations of Dungeness crab, making this an excellent area for combination charter trips.
