Captain Alex West has been fishing for Salmon, Trout, and Steelhead since he can remember. A native to Vancouver Island, he practically grew up with a rod in his hand, so it's only natural that he's an avid angler. He's perfected his technique over the course of his life, and knows exactly what it takes to land the trophy-sized beauties. He hopes to share his secrets with you so that you can see why he loves it so much.

    Tons of fun and lots of fish!

    Full Day Trip • 2 adults

    Alex was an awesome guide. My buddy and I were both complete beginners to fly fishing, and we ended up landing a combined 30 trout by the end of the day. What made this trip especially memorable was the cowichan river itself, floating down it felt like an awesome whitewater experience with fishing thrown in. I'd recommend it to anyone without hesitation.

    Reported catch:
    Rainbow Trout (Steelhead)
    Cutthroat Trout

What's biting with iGuideBC Fishing CO – Fall Salmon in Port Renfrew

A quick run from the dock will take you to nearshore fishing grounds for the last of this year's Salmon. You can still enjoy great bottom fishing for Rockfish, Lingcod, and Crab while temperatures hover between 47 and 60°F.
