Amazing fishing on the Campbell River

Young Family 4 Hour Trip

Captain Marc was very knowledgeable and worked hard to put us on the fish. We caught Chinook and Coho on one of the most beautiful days I've ever had on the water. Thanks Captain Mike!

It was a real pleasure to coach you on saltwater fly fishing techniques and hooking up to surface feeding coho salmon. Great action and lots of fun! Humpback whales were also present fishing!

    Wow! What a Magnificent Day with Marc Belanger!

    6 Hour AM Trip – Summer4 adults

    We are two couples with fishing experience ranging from lots to none. The weather was fabulous and we caught more fish than we knew what to do with. We also spent much of the day with two humpback whales hanging around. Marc's boat is comfortable and he brought us snacks as well as a wonderful lunch. He set up the fishing poles for us, showed us what to do and made sure we caught lots of fish. He filleted all the fish for us so we could take it with us. I would highly recommending booking with Marc.

    My pleasure to have you aboard and hook up to some nice salmon. Captain Marc

    Fantastic Fishing Day!

    6 Hour AM Trip2 adults

    Our trip with Captain Marc could not have been better! We were catching fish from the moment our lines went down. The fishing was hot and we could not have been happier. Captain Marc is very knowledgeable and worked hard to make sure our day was a positive one. We highly recommend his services if you are looking for a guide in Campbell River!

    Beautiful day on the water and catching salmon!

    Young Family 4 Hour Trip4 adults2 children

    Marc hosted a wonderful day for our family (2 boys, 11,13). We have a beautiful boat ride and caught many fish. The boat is comfortable and snacks were lovely. Marc has a lot of knowledge of fishing and the general area, we learned a lot and of course brought home some beautiful Chinook for dinner.

    Great trip, and fantastic weather

    Young Family 4 Hour Trip2 adults

    Caught many wild coho that had to be let go, landed 2 12lb chinook, but lost a couple that were also probably chinook one felt very big. Only one hatchery coho to keep but it is early for hatchery coho to be here in force. Lost a bunch of fish so no lack of action.

    Great fishing trip!

    6 Hour AM Trip

    Booked a six hour trip with Captain Marc and it was non-stop action the entire time. Marc's knowledge is exceptional, and we caught a few different species using a range of gear and employing various techniques. Good value and a great experience!
