SEE WHO YOU’RE FISHING WITH
THE BEST VANCOUVER FISHING GUIDES
I’ve been lucky enough to live in British Columbia my entire life and have been a fishing guide for over 20 years now. When we started this guiding & outfitter company in 2006 I wanted to make sure of one thing, that people always had the best possible fishing experience here in BC. Our Vancouver fishing crew is comprised of the region’s most experienced guides, a great bunch that know the area and our local fisheries better than any. Fishing with us will maximize your opportunities at a great day of angling, while fishing with fun energetic guides who love what they do. Drop me a line about a Vancouver fishing outing, we’d love to earn you business and be a part of your trip to BC.
