5 Hour Trip - 1 Guest on October 8, 20251 adult

Went 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.

Reported catch:
Coho Salmon
Chinook Salmon

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.
