Where to Stay in BC
British Columbia offers sport fish of all sizes to thrill every age and skill level. With good access, services and accommodations, you're bound to find at least one sport fishing destination that holds the fish of your dreams!
With over 27,000 kilometres of coastline, saltwater anglers can choose to fish for salmon, lingcod, halibut, or rockfish in the quiet, protected waters of a spectacular, glacier-carved fjord in the Central Coast; among the huge ocean swells or at the edges of a booming surfline off the expansive west coast of Vancouver Island or the Queen Charlotte Islands; or along the beaches right in the busy Vancouver Harbour, with a late afternoon sun bathing the bustling urban centre in gold.
Freshwater anglers have just as much choice as saltwater enthusiasts. British Columbia has over 850 lakes that are three square kilometres or bigger, many, many more smaller lakes and thousands of rivers and streams that you can fish from big cruisers, small car-toppers, float tubes, or even from shore. These waters predominantly hold rainbow trout, but many also have mixed populations of rainbow, kokanee, lake char, cutthroat, bull trout, whitefish, and burbot. Walleye, northern pike, and grayling lurk in northern waters, while southern lakes in the Okanagan and Vancouver Island are home to smallmouth and bigmouth bass. In rivers that drain to the coast, you can fish for sea-run Dolly Varden and cutthroat trout year-round, or try for a trophy salmon or steelhead during their summer to spring spawning migrations.
