Fishing in West Vancouver

Discover the exceptional fishing opportunities that make West Vancouver a dream destination for anglers. Nestled between dramatic coastal mountains and the sparkling waters of the Salish Sea, this scenic community is renowned for its outstanding saltwater and freshwater fishing experiences year-round.

West Vancouver is famous for its productive Salmon runs, especially Chinook, Coho, and, during odd-numbered years, Pink Salmon. Prime fishing locations like Ambleside Park and the mouth of the Capilano River grant easy access to these iconic species from early summer to mid-fall. Whether you prefer casting from the beaches, piers, or heading offshore with an expert charter, you’ll find a variety of options to suit every skill level and adventure.

Beyond Salmon, the area’s diverse waters are home to groundfish such as greenling, flounder, sole, and tomcod. Exploring the rocks at Caulfeild or the quiet beaches near Cypress Creek promises great opportunities for those seeking a laid-back angling experience close to the city. The calm, sheltered inlets of Howe Sound also offer abundant Rockfish and Lingcod, set against breathtaking coastal landscapes.

West Vancouver fishing charters open the door to deep-sea adventures and the thrill of landing trophy catches. Local captains share their expertise and insider knowledge, ensuring a memorable day on the water whether you’re chasing Salmon during their epic migrations or targeting local bottom fish.

With accessible urban fishing spots, pristine natural beauty, and a wealth of marine life, West Vancouver stands out as a must-visit destination for anglers. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or planning your first fishing trip, the region’s vibrant fisheries and spectacular surroundings create the ultimate West Coast fishing experience.

Trolling for Salmon is a hunting/fishing expedition. There in no casting or work required until you have a fish on the hook but be ready to do some great fighting and work on you end of the reel.

It's why they call it fishing not catching. Each week is different the fish move in and out so you never know what the season may bring.

Bring a raincoat... the weather can turn on a dime. Boat can get a little bouncy, but you very likely will NOT get seasick since the shore is close by. It was great having a bathroom aboard, and a very clean one at that. I can't imagine NOT catching fish with Captain Scott. He knows the area like nobody else.

We had a calm day on the water. The day before was very rough, but they caught more fish—just to say that with fishing you take your chances, but the experience was great!

Note the only keepers were the hatchery coho - we managed to catch quite a few wild ones and a couple of nice chinook, which were not allowed to keep in that area and time of year. Lots of action and limited out!

Captain Chris Speed is an expert and a super nice guy. He has fished out of Horseshoe Bay all his life. You will not find anyone more knowledgeable. My wife and I had never been salmon fishing and Chris explained everything from selecting spots to fish to the best way to catch and release. We most highly recommend Captain Chris and Built for Speed.

I brought my two nephews along with my family on a trip to Vancouver and we decided to do a 1/2 day salmon fishing charter. Chris was fantastic. We went out early and immediately catch multiple. When it started to slow he took us to great spot after spot. He was a fantastic knowledgeable guide and the boys and I had a blast. We will definitely be coming back and fishing with Chris again! It was a day to remember! Thank you!
