Fishing in Victoria

Victoria, British Columbia, is a premier fishing destination renowned for its year-round saltwater angling opportunities. Nestled on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, this region offers access to nutrient-rich waters teeming with salmon, halibut, lingcod, and rockfish. The Strait of Juan de Fuca and nearby inlets provide diverse ecosystems where anglers target all five Pacific salmon species—Chinook, Coho, Sockeye, Pink, and Chum—alongside trophy-sized halibut.

Charters operate daily from Victoria Harbour, Pedder Bay, and Esquimalt, utilizing advanced gear and techniques like trolling, mooching, and bottom fishing to maximize catches. Professional guides share extensive local knowledge, ensuring compliance with regulations while adapting to seasonal patterns. Summer and fall peak for salmon migration, while halibut action thrives in deeper waters from spring through autumn.

The experience blends adventure with breathtaking scenery, where encounters with whales, sea lions, and eagles enhance the trip. Family-friendly excursions cater to all skill levels, with fish cleaned and prepared for you to take home. A valid BC Tidal Waters fishing license and Salmon Conservation Stamp are required, easily obtainable online before your charter. Whether seeking a half-day outing or multi-day expedition, Victoria delivers unforgettable fishing amid the Pacific Northwest's coastal beauty.

Victoria Fishing Seasons

January

Average temperatures are between 40 and 47°F at the start of the year, but great fishing awaits those who are willing to brave the cold! Set sail near shore and bring back Chinook Salmon and Dungeness Crab.

February

February is one of the best times to cast lines in Victoria. If the Halibut season is open, head to the rocky shores of Albert Head, Race Rocks, or another local hot spot and have it!

March

Things are heating up around here, with average temperatures reaching up to 52°F on some days. The Halibut bite is strong and the action is getting more intense by the week as more Salmon start to arrive.

April

There’s no end in sight when it comes to great fishing in Victoria! The seasons for Lingcod and Rockfish will open soon if they haven’t already, while Halibut and winter Chinook are still giving anglers a run for their money.

May

May marks the start of the summer Salmon season. Over the next few months, resident Chinook will be joined by Coho, Sockeye, Chum, and Pink Salmon. As always, you can count on local Halis to keep you busy.

June

Victoria may be known for its winter fishery, but that doesn’t mean things in summer are slow. Set sail for Albert Head and reel in everything from Halibut and Rockfish to any kind of Salmon!

July

Temperatures soar as high as 68°F by the middle of summer—perfect weather for fishing! Get in on the summer Salmon season or hook into Halis and Rockfish any place from Oak Bay to Race Rocks.

August

If you’re a Salmon fanatic, you couldn’t pick a better time to be on the water here in Victoria. All five species are yours for the taking! Anglers seeking variety of a different kind can still catch, well, everything else.

September

Spend autumn in Victoria and you’ll be spoiled for choice. Temperatures range from a balmy 53-65°F, while all the local species are still bustling about below the water’s surface. 

October

Fishing charters in many ports around Vancouver Island will be heading out for their last hurrah, but the ones in Victoria are just getting started! Everything is on the menu here, from Crab and Rockfish to Salmon.

November

You can catch the tail end of the summer Salmon run in November, or hook into the winter Chinook as they enter their peak. If the Halibut season doesn’t close early, you can still enjoy fishing for this delicacy and more.

December

Spend a little time fishing in Victoria this holiday season and bring home a Chinook Salmon, Halibut, Lingcod, or Dungeness Crab to grace your table and impress your guests!
