Our Winter salmon fishery is always a great indicator of the Spring and Summer fishery and over the next few months will tell us what we can expect for the 2010 season. As our Winter Chinook salmon runs slow in mid March, our first Spring run of King/Chinook start arrive in large numbers to provide excitement and thrills. Our Spring run of Chinook salmon are abundant until mid June. May through September sees us targeting Chinook, Coho, Sockeye and Pink salmon returning to the many rivers we have in the Vancouver area. In September the Capilano, Chilliwack and Harrison River runs of King salmon hold in the Vancouver area for a month or more.
We are offering a NEW Charter Adventure for 2010 running from May through July (weather permitting). This is a 10 hour fully guided charter to the BC Gulf islands where the Spring time Chinook fishery can be excellent. This trip includes lunch for up to four persons including a beverage of your choice at the BC famous Silva Bay Marina Pub and is included in the charter price. The trip is for up to 4 persons onboard one of our 28' sportfish boats. We depart at 7am and return at about 5pm daily - lots of time to clean fish, take photos and get back to the hotel before dinner.
