Gold River Fishing & Tours

Vancouver Island’s West Coast near Nootka Sound holds a worldwide reputation as one of the finest fishing areas on the planet, salt water or fresh.

A number of fishing charter companies in Gold River offer expert guides, fishing charters and resort accommodation. You can tackle the west coast any time of year, but summer sees most people trying their luck at catching the transient runs of Coho, Sockeye and Spring Salmon, also know as Chinook, or Tyee if weighing over 30 pounds. For variety, try bottom fishing for ling-cod, rock-cod, snapper and gigantic halibut, some up to 175 pounds.

Former Campbell River judge and award winning nature writer Roderick Haig-Brown enthused about the joys and serenity of fly-fishing on Vancouver Island. His writings have lured people from around the world to come to enjoy the thrill of hauling a steelhead, Dolly Varden, or cutthroat trout from one of the many rivers cutting through the forests and mountains of the region. The ultimate in sports fishing is to hire a floatplane or a helicopter and fish secluded lakes and rivers. No matter your choice, Nootka Sound and the Gold River region offers superb fishing as well as fantastic scenery and an abundance of wildlife.
