When you’re ready to explore the rich fishery Black Creek has to offer, turn to Cliff’s Chinook Charters! There are few better places to fish for various species of Salmon than British Columbia, and Capt. Cliff is an expert in putting you on that red-hot bite.

Come aboard his 25’ Aquasport Cuddy cabin powered with a 300 HP Suzuki engine and head out to the secret fish hideouts. Up to 3 angling buddies can join you and together, you can spend several hours chasing fish that is as plentiful as it is tasty. The vessel is stable and comfortable, with solid navigational electronics and a private toilet.

Your prey will be different Salmon species, but Chinook and Coho are by far the most prized catch, along with Halibut, Lingcod, and Rockfish. All these fish are amazing fighters and will give you a run for your money, so get ready for a proper workout on the rod.

Capt. Cliff will have all the fishing gear at the ready on board, but you can use your own if you’d like. When intense fishing action is done, your guide will fillet everything you caught, and you can even ask him for a good recipe, he loves cooking fish almost as much as he likes catching it.

When you book a trip with Cliff’s Chinook Charters, one thing is certain – there won’t be a dull moment on the water. Enjoy the breathtaking views and then, it’s time to catch something extraordinary!

Captain Cliff moves between Campbell River, Black Creek and Comox, depending on where the fish are at the moment. Therefore, make sure to contact the Captain to find out about the exact location you’ll be fishing from.
