What to bring on our fishing trip?
Since the weather here on the west coast of BC can vary from rain to hot sun, it’s best to wear layered clothing for the day. Bring rain-gear if showers are expected. Bring sun glasses and some sun screen lotion and make sure to have your camera along to capture those trophy fish moments.
Refreshments
We include a light snack and non-alcoholic refreshment on every fishing charter. We can also supply a box lunch for guests a very reasonable rate. We allow those who would like a couple beers to partake, but we retain the right to end a fishing charter if our guides feel things are getting out of hand.
How many guests per fishing boat?
We like to fish a maximum of four anglers per boat which makes for a comfortable day on the water.
