5 Hour Trip - 1 Guest on October 8, 2025 • 1 adultWent out with Warren for five hour fishing trip this morning. We were fishing near Cowans Pt, on the SE side of Bowen island. Landed 5 coho and 5 chinook salmon. Largest was 7-8lbs. Also saw humpback whales, dolphins, Eagles and a seal in the harbour! What really made the trip though was Warren’s calm and confident nature, his conversation and knowledge on all things fishing, AND his all round good humour and nature. He guided and never instructed, just instilled confidence from the moment stepped onto the boat. I’ve only ever fished once for salmon before in Scotland - totally different experience and majority of that due to Warren and the amazing local environment. A truly wonderful, lifelong experience morning.

7 Hour Trip – 4 to 5 Guests on July 2, 2025 • 4 adultsWe enjoyed a beautiful day on the water with Fish First Charters. We caught several unfortunately several had to be released because they were undersize, or closed season for keeping Chinook & wild Coho. We did bring home 3 coho and enjoyed one for supper that evening. I was very impressed by the quick reply from Fish First Charters when we were booking; also his informative communications for preparing for the day.

5 Hour Trip - 4 Guests on June 23, 2025 • 4 adultsCaptain Warren os great and his boat is fantastic for fishing the Sound. We caught about 17 fish and kept two for dinner that night.
Douglas Reid•West Vancouver, BC, CanadaMember since 20175.0VerifiedHalf day with Captain Warren Barker
5 Hour Burrard Inlet Trip AM on August 28, 2017 • 5 adultsWarren was very punctual, actually early. He was very balanced between catching fish and having a enjoyable time and we experienced both. Warren was knowledgeable and demonstrated a skill of having 4 lines in the water with no confusion. I would certainly use Warren again. Doug Reid

Your captain
West Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Born on the West Coast of Canada I come from a family of fishing guides who helped teach me my craft. At the age of six I caught my first salmon and have been 'hooked' ever since. I really enjoy being out on the ocean and sharing the fishing experience with my guests.
