What anglers said about fishing in Barkley Sound

Make sure you bring a cooler and Ice if you plan on keeping fish to cook during your stay or bring a way to store and transport it til you get back to your lodging. It is chilly on the water so bring more layers than you are expecting to need. Rain gear would also be a great idea to have on hand if necessary.

Take the newly paved road through Port Alberni - not the logging road! The Hacas hotel in Bamfield was the bare minimum for a fishing trip (it was clean enough but DO NOT bring your wife to this hotel).

It gets busy there in the summer - book ahead if possible and find accommodation at the same time, places fill up fast. Catch My Drift charters helped with our booking and suggested places to stay, we'd recommend looking into their charters for sure.

Have some flexibility with fishing days so you can accommodate changes in ocean conditions if needed and be well equipped for rain, just in case.

Bring rain gear and waterproof attire and layer up with warm clothing. June can be cold and rainy. Also I would avoid going on a long weekend. There were many boats on the water so it would be a better experience with less boat traffic for sure.

Captain Curtis works very hard to put you on the fish that you are targeting. You will likely have a mixed bag of fish that you catch.

Absolutely! There are plenty of fishes and weather is good but be prepared of sea sickness and ways to prevent it. Check the waves too just in case you get sick with movement of boats due to waves.

Not a lot of fishing boats out, so hardly any competition. We were able to catch our limit for the day. I am sure if we stayed out longer we could have got Halibut as well, since the other boat did in the same area.

The coastline is protected a bit by small rock islands which reduced the swells. We also go to see some sealions nearby.
