I was born and raised in a commercial fishing family on the west coast of BC, so sportfishing was just a natural progression for me. Now, I've been lucky enough to fish and guide all over the world.

California, US•Member since 2025•2 trips5.0VerifiedGreat experience
5 Hour Trip (AM) • 1 adultRoy was fantastic from the get go. Knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Gear and boat were in great condition, and comfortable. We were targeting Coho salmon, and caught several. Wild ones were released, as well as a couple undersized fish, and a couple king salmon whch were not available to keep in the area we fished, sadly. All in all, we had a great time, caught dinner, and enjoyed the day. Would highly recommend this charter to anyone.
Response from CaptainThanks Giles! Good luck with all the CA fishing adventures.

8 Hour Trip • 3 adultsWe went salmon fishing off the coast of Vancouver with Captain Roy Tanami. He was incredibly friendly and introduced us to a classic "BC" fishing style, using light-action rods and single-action reels. It was a fantastic excursion—we caught over twenty salmon on a beautiful day, all against a breathtaking backdrop. It was a truly memorable experience that we will cherish for a long time.

Vancouver Salmon fishing keeps building!
Jun 10, 2026 • Vancouver
Salmon fishing in Vancouver this spring has been nothing short of spectacular with great action on both chinook and coho salmon. While the spring weather so far has been a bit challenging at times, the fishing action has been very consistent - often with multiple double headers and steady action each day we’ve been out. This abundance of salmon in the Vancouver area has been the pattern for the past few years, and this year seems to be right on track. This trend should only increase in both size of fish and numbers, as the salmon migrations fill in and peak over the summer months. Summer spots fill quickly, so if you are planning a visit to Vancouver, be sure to book your spot early! Let’s go fishing!

A Terrific Start!
Apr 22, 2026 • Vancouver
Spring has sprung and the early salmon season in Vancouver is off to a great start. This past week was ideal with spring weather conditions, and good action on the water. Chinook salmon, appropriately called "spring salmon" are now here in good numbers, and we have already started to encounter the early coho runs as well. Once again, we are looking forward to a terrific fishing season ahead as the salmon returns continue to fill in. Spring and summer spots book up quickly, so if you're planning to be in Vancouver, be sure to reserve your spot soon!

Great Fall Fishing! Update and recap.
Sep 29, 2025 • Vancouver
Once again, September in Vancouver saw simply incredible salmon fishing with an abundance of large chinook (king) salmon, as well as great numbers of coho and pink salmon as well. It really was one for the record books. Fall fishing continues to be strong, with good numbers of coho salmon being caught throughout our fishing area, with a few large chinook still left in the mix. October is a transition month for Vancouver fishing, where the migrating chinook and coho run their course by about the third week of the month, while at the same time, our “feeder” chinook begin to show up in bigger numbers. This October is no exception and fall fishing is off to a great start in the Vancouver area!

"Big Fish Month" in Vancouver waters is
Sep 1, 2025 • Vancouver
September is the month when the biggest chinook (King) salmon are caught in Vancouver waters, and this September has already started off with a bang! Sept 1 saw good chinook action for the morning trip as well as lots of activity from pink salmon, and limits of nice sized chinooks filled for the afternoon trip of three lucky anglers! Sept 2 saw continued action with the morning guests catching a couple of nice coho (Silver) salmon, as well as a few very nice chinook - including the biggest fish of the year so far! Truly the fish of a lifetime! With abundant returns of chinook, coho, pink and sockeye salmon to Vancouver waters this year, September should be another one for the record books with many more big fish to come! Let’s go fishing!

Summer fishing is HOT!
Aug 4, 2025 • Vancouver
The summer salmon fishing season in Vancouver is in full swing, and the weather and fishing has been terrific! Our pink salmon run, estimated to reach over 27million returning fish has officially arrived, and these feisty fish have been providing steady action, which should continue well into September. Good numbers of coho salmon are in the house as well, although some days, the hatchery keepers can be elusive. Chinook salmon have also started to show up as expected, and once again, we expect strong numbers of returning fish throughout August and September. Bottom line -the weather and fishing in Vancouver is hot! Summer spots still available, but going fast! Book your trip today!
