BOOK A TRIP

If you love fishing then look no further; quit dreaming and come join us for a trip of a lifetime!


Trophy sized halibut and chinook are found in the waters off Port Renfrew, Swiftsure Bank and Victoria in good numbers throughout the summer. Your captain Nelson has been guiding since 2001 all over the British Columbia coast and is a well experienced angler and guide. Southern Vancouver Island are his home waters and he knows them well. His dad started taking him out through the Nitinat Gap when he was just 10 years old, this is where it all started and to this day he still fishes those very same waters. Whether it’s fresh or saltwater we have everything covered.

Salt Water Fishing


Our ocean fishing boat is a 26' Northwest Aluminum that has a 9’6” beam and is very stable in all fishing conditions. It is powered by a 300hp Evinrude Etec Outboard motor and a 9.9hp Yamaha for trolling. It is fully equipped with all the latest electronics from Raymarine, and has radar, AIS and all the necessary safety gear as well as being Transport Canada approved and inspected. When we are fishing the coast for salmon and halibut we supply nothing but the best gear from Shimano, Islander, Gibbs, Scotty, and Custom Rod Builders.


What you should bring: Fishing License, Lunch, Drinks, Sunscreen, Sun glasses, hat, warm clothes, rain jacket, etc.

Freshwater Fishing


We have two boats that we use in Fresh water. A 14' Koffler RMT drift boat is used when drifting the Cowichan River in search of trout, salmon, and steelhead. For more remote areas we use a 16' Zodiac with a jet to access the best coho salmon and steelhead spots that can't be accessed any other way. We use top of the line Sage fly rods and reels, Islander fly reels, Rio Fly Lines, Simms and Patagonia Waders/boots.


We fish a variety of species here on Vancouver Island, and with such a mild climate, fly fishing is done year round. If you are after resident or sea-run trout, steelhead, or salmon we will put you in the best place to catch your quarry, hands down. I have been fishing the rivers and lakes of Vancouver Island for over 20 years and know what is happening and when. I can accommodate two anglers comfortably on a day to day basis. Multiple day trips can be arranged as well.


What you should bring: Fishing License, Lunch, Sunglasses, Waders, boots, rain jacket, warm clothes, etc.
