Nothing beats local experience. Our Vancouver fishing guide staff comprised of the region’s most experienced anglers, a fun hard-working group that loves what they do. You want to fish with guides who are on the water 12 months a year and that’s who you’ll be with when you book with us. Having great guides is something we’ve always prided ourselves on. This level of expertise gives clients the best possible experiences. Below you’ll meet our team of Vancouver fishing guides, and a few of the fellows in Squamish & Whistler.
“Bossing every one around of course! Just kidding, it’s having an absolutely awesome staff that gets along great and who are always hustling to make trips the best they can be. I’m super lucky to have such a great crew and an operation we can all be proud of.”
“Probably the Squamish River north of Vancouver. I’ve fly fished all over BC and grew up in the Okanagan where there’s some great fishing too. But to get out for a day on the Squamish is probably my favourite, you never know what you’ll catch or what wildlife you’ll see!”
“Can’t beat the Watershed Grill in Squamish. Sitting around with the boys having an après fish pint watching the sun dip behind the Tantalus Mountains, that’s as good as it gets.”
“Most people don’t know we can be salmon fishing in Vancouver 365 days a year. So it’s a really long season and I like all of it but Winter chinook fishing has always been my overall favourite. I love being able to run up Howe Sound with the mountains covered in snow and find some fish and drop some prawn traps.”
“I go fishing. Really, I love going fishing locally, sometimes in my kayak or just a drive somewhere to check out a spot I haven’t been to for a while. I also like picking mushrooms, there’s some good picking to be had that not too many people know about. I also tie lots of flies, that’s my wind down time, to sit at the vise and whip up some bugs.”
“The program I run is as much about the fishing as it is about the conservation of these beautiful fish. I’ve been a proud member of the sturgeon tagging program on the Fraser River for many years and really enjoy introducing guests to these fish and this area. As part of the research team we can enjoy great fishing but also make a difference in the fishery and guests really love that aspect of their trip.”
“I never realized how many interesting people like fly fishing and it’s pretty amazing to be able to introduce them to the fishing we have here. Nobody can believe that we can be in the wilderness within an hour of me picking them up, that’s a highlight to see people enjoy the area as much as I do.”
“I have been fishing in BC for 30 years. Sadly, I hadn’t ever really been fishing until I met Yos Gladstone and the team at Chromer Sport Fishing. They offer a true BC fishing experience. Their knowledge and feel for the lakes, rivers and oceans of British Columbia make them a truly amazing experience. Chromer Sport Fishing is what fishing in BC is all about!”
“The backdrop and the light always create the mood but making sure there is some movement is what brings a photo to life. Whether it’s someone taking a step in the river or a drip of water coming off a fish, having that little bit of action is what I think makes one photo pop over another.”
“I don’t know how to answer that! Which one do I like more? Depends how the fishing is I guess. When salmon fishing on the ocean is going off it’s pretty hard to beat, I still get all amped up even after all these years when the bite comes on.”
“In Vancouver we get to meet so many people from around the world and everyone is blown away by the fishing we have here. It’s pretty cool to be able to introduce people to fishing so close to a big city and get them out into the wilderness. If we see whales or eagles it makes for an even more spectacular experience for our guests.”
“I kinda like all the spots we can fish close to town but when there’s good trout fishing on the Birkenhead River that’s probably my favourite. It’s a really fun little river to go fly fishing on and there’s some big rainbows and bull trout.”
