Captain
Warren Barker

Member since February 2016 West Vancouver, Canada

Background: 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.
Techniques: We are predominantly trolling for salmon with down riggers. We use light weight tackle suited for landing up to 30 pound salmon. For attracting the fish we us a variety of spoons, hootchies, plugs and bait.

5 Hour Trip - 1 Guest

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... More

We enjoyed a beautiful day on the water with Fish First Charters. We caught several unfortunately several had to be released because they were undersize, or closed season for keeping Chinook & wild Coho. We did bring home 3 coho and enjoyed one for supper that evening. I was very impressed by the quick reply from Fish First Charters when we were booking; also his informative communications for preparing for the day.

Warren was very punctual, actually early. He was very balanced between catching fish and having a enjoyable time and we experienced both. Warren was knowledgeable and demonstrated a skill of having 4 lines in the water with no confusion. I would certainly use Warren again. Doug Reid
