Captain Andreas Handl was born in Lower Austria. He grew up exploring the pristine streams full of Trout near his family home. Andreas spent his childhood summers discovering the streamside. He obtained his first fishing license at a young age of 14 and since then, there was hardly a free minute where he wasn't fly fishing. Andreas began a career in the culinary industry and made sure it was close to a Grayling and Trout stream. His fishing repertoire in Europe included a wide variety of lakes and streams in the Alps. When he first visited British Columbia, Andreas got hooked on Steelhead, Salmon, and ocean fishing.

    Great people, great experience

    Full Day Trip • 5 adults • 2 children

    We had a few hiccups starting out, but this team worked with us to give us a great experience regardless, and made up for it in the end. Justin, the guide, was very kind, and took the time to teach the kids and discuss everything we were doing, catching, the area and more. What started out slow ending up being a great trip, they took extra time in the day to make sure we caught fish. We enjoyed our trip and would book with them again.

What's biting with Kingfish Westcoast Adventures Ltd. in Kitimat

The weather is cooling down, which makes it a bit difficult to chase Salmon or Trout, but you can still cast your line at the head end of the Douglas Channel and hook a Coho or two.
