Nestled alongside the vibrant city of Vancouver, Burrard Inlet offers premier saltwater fishing in the heart of British Columbia. This stunning waterway is celebrated for its exceptional Chinook and Coho salmon runs, with peak seasons delivering thrilling angling opportunities against a backdrop of coastal mountains and city skyline vistas.
From April through October, anglers target hard-fighting Chinook salmon ranging 10-25 pounds, with prime spring fishing at hotspots like Bowen Island. Fall brings explosive surface action as Coho salmon flood the inlet during September's peak season. Year-round bottom fishing yields trophy halibut, lingcod, and rockfish in nearby grounds.
Protected waters allow comfortable fishing regardless of weather, with productive grounds minutes from downtown Vancouver. Professional charters cater to all skill levels - whether you're chasing migratory salmon runs or resident feeder fish. The Inlet's unique combination of accessibility, diverse fisheries, and iconic Pacific Northwest scenery creates unforgettable fishing adventures just steps from urban amenities.
