What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Victoria, British Columbia for the first time?

If you want to catch certain kind of fish, ask captain before you completed your bookings. Each fish has right season, time and tide. So you must discuss what you need to do before you book the schedule. If you are not familiar with fishing just ask captain what you can do while your travel.

Good but you have to release wild Coho in August. Would be better to book in September if you want to keep more fish

Get rodfather fishing if you want fun and success,but only if your attitude is positive from the get go

Weather can't be controlled. We had some strong winds that made it impossible go out deep for halibut. The salmon fishing was as good as could be expected for the weather.

Be ready for trolling style fishing and be prepared for cool weather, in July it is in the 50s and feels even cooler on the water.

Go for t! Well worth the time and money, especially when you might catch the fish of a lifetime like I did.

We had a windy and cloudy day. Not ideal for us. If we choose again, we will choose July and August
