Fun trip, I wouldn’t arrive much early as the run is just getting ramped up mid June. If possible try and time your arrival between tribal and commercial netters. Friendly laid back town.

It's important to note that fishing doesn't always lead to catching. We were very lucky to have such great guides to get us on the fish. Nanaimo is a great spot where you can get on the fish without having to go on and hour long boat ride.

Fishing in June can be unpredictable. Weather is often non-compliant and travelers should expect both sunny days and/or rain. Depending on the weather, fish can often be in motion and difficult to pin down. Expect to travel to many spots and see a lot of different species.

Great family trip. We had 3 adults and 5 kids. Bradan was very welcoming and knowledgeable. He changed the booking based on our needs and gave us all a great tour on the water. We were able to harvest a substantial amount of local seafood. We are planning another trip now

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.

This was my first time ocean fishing. Sooke is a great spot as it is near land, extremely scenic, seems to have a healthy fishery, and offers lots of trip options.

King Tide Charters – 28ft Northwest
With the fast changing weather of BC it is a hit or miss at this time of year. The last couple of days of just Rain made the river system blow out. The fish are there but just harder to catch.

Great fishing! You have to run out a little far to get to the spot, but worth it.

TD Coastal Adventures – Campbell River
The winter fishing is slower but less crowded and the scenery is amazing with snow capped mountains on the Island and Mainland and whales frolicking in the bay if you are lucky. Dress warmly with layers

Getter Done Charters Nanaimo winter season
The best time to fish for salmon off the shores of sooke is late summer. However, with the right guide, there are still big fish to be found.

Booking late in the season doesn’t mean the fish are not there, it just means you need an experienced captain that knows how to get the fish on!
Weather is unpredictable so be prepared for winds and sun!

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).
