British Columbia offers excellent saltwater fishing off the west coast of Canada, and there are many charter fishing boats that are available to take advantage of the wonderful fishing opportunities provided by the waters of the Pacific Ocean. Charter fishing boats are available for fantastic fishing in British Columbia on Vancouver Island from the coastal communities of Campbell River, Port Hardy, Port Renfrew, Sooke, Tofino, Ucluelet, Victoria, and Winter Harbour. The captains of these charter fishing boats venture into waters that include the Queen Charlotte Sound, Gulf of Alaska, Strait of Georgia, Nootka Sound, and Pacific Ocean. They consistently provide their clients with outstanding action for salmon, halibut, and snapper. Across the Inside Passage there are many charter fishing boats on the mainland of British Columbia that depart from Powell River, Surrey, Chilliwack, and Vancouver. These mainland charters head for the Strait of Georgia and the Fraser River to give anglers some of the best opportunities to land a giant chinook salmon, coho salmon, pink salmon, chum salmon, sockeye salmon, sturgeon, and halibut. On the northern mainland, the towns of Kitimat and Prince Rupert have access to charter fishing boats that head into Chatham Sound and Hectate Strait in pursuit of huge Pacific salmon and halibut. The Queen Charlotte Islands are well known for their excellent salmon and halibut fishing in the Gulf of Alaska and Hectate Strait, and there are several charter fishing boats available from the community of Port Clements.
