Vancouver is one of the premier west coast fishing destinations; from secluded lakes and rivers to public and private fishing charters, few places else can match Vancouver’s fishing opportunities.

A popular spot among locals includes the Fraser River in the Point Grey area (Burrard Inlet), a great place year-round to battle salmon and other species. The atmosphere is serene and the fish it seems are always biting. Vancouver is surrounded by a string of fly-fishing spots running up and down the coast, as well as eastward into Canada.

Fishing Charters abound in the area. Coho Sports offers guided salmon and cod fishing charters, and Bonnie Lee Fishing Charters offers year-round guided charters on a 20- to 52-foot vessel, sightseeing as well as fishing, to name only a couple. Private salmon fishing rentals are available Sewell’s Marina, a family-owned business with all the fishing hot spots.
