Captain
Dane Kaechele

Member since January 2024 Ucluelet, Canada
Background
As a kid I grew up saltwater fishing on the westcoast and fly fishing the interior lakes of BC with my Dad. After a 15-year snowboard coaching career, I ended up settling down in Ucluelet and started a family. Living in Ucluelet is a dream come true and allows me to get back into my passion of fishing and showing people the beauty of the area.
Techniques
I find trolling to be very effective for catching salmon and is my preferred technique. I like to fish around the outside of the scenic Broken Group Islands. Fishing and exploring in that kind of scenery is epic.
