Kootenay Kingfisher – Salmon and Halibut
Kootenay Kingfisher is based in Ucluelet and offers fun fishing trips on the area’s rich offshore waters. Captain Kurt Easy loves putting his guests on the fish and making their experience a memorable one. Pick a day you like and join him aboard for a beautiful day of fishing in British Columbia, Canada.
You and the captain will be fishing from a restored 25’ Hourston cuddy cabin that can safely take up to 4 anglers. It’s powered by a 300 HP Yamaha outboard engine and rigged with all the modern GPS, fishfinder, VHF radio, as well as radar navigation technology. The boat has got a portable toilet and comes with an ice-box and downriggers.
On your trip, you’ll mainly be fishing for Chinook Salmon and Halibut. The techniques you can expect to use to reel them in include heavy tackle, bottom fishing, big game fishing, trolling, jigging, as well as drift fishing. You can choose to take home the fish you catch or release it back into the water.
Captain Kurt will provide you with the fishing rods, reels, tackle, and lures. After the trip, he offers to clean and fillet your catch so it’s ready for cooking when you get back home. You should bring your licenses and any snacks and drinks you want before coming on board.
Hit the water with Kootenay Kingfisher and have a memorable time fishing in Canada!

Lovely day
We had a great day with Captain Easy. We caught one coho and released it according to fishing regulations. Then we caught one chinook which we kept. A nice productive day.

Friendly to first time anglers
We met Captain Kurt at the small craft Harbour and the experience was full of excitement and surprises. Since it’s the first time fishing in open water. The first catch slipped away but the Captain encouraged us to keep going. At the end of the trip, we have successfully pulled chin hooks and cohos out of water. Along the way, Kurt has been very educational and patient in helping us getting familiar with blue waters. Will come back again once we have the opportunity!
