Are fishing licenses
included? |
|
No,
they are an extra charge
based on the duration of
stay and whether you are a
resident of Canada or not, and whether you wish
to retain your catch.
We do sell them at our front
desk for our guests and we
are happy to answer any
questions you have regarding
them. You will need to
have the license on your
person at all times when you
are fishing. If you
are freshwater fishing as
well, it is a separate
license required. |

Does
my fishing license work for both
Campbell River and the West Coast
and Alternate destinations? |
|
In most
cases, yes it will, unless
you have chosen the Combo
Fishing Package, which
involves two different
licenses, one each for fresh
water and for tidal
water. Each license is
for the province for the
duration of time you have
purchased. |

How much experience
does your fishing guides have? |
|
All
of our guides have several
years of guiding experience
and are fully equipped with
the best gear to ensure you
have the fishing experience
of a lifetime. Our
guides do this for a living
and are on the water every
day so they know the waters,
the conditions and the
migratory patterns of the
fish and bait. We will take you to the fish. |

How do we get our
catch home? |
|
The
guide will clean and package
your catch for you. As
a guest at our
lodge, we will store your
catch in our fish freezers
until your departure.
If you would like your fish
processed in any way or
shipped, we can suggest
someone locally, but we do
not do it ourselves.
There are strict government
regulations regarding this
procedure and only specific facilities
are licensed by the Canadian
government. |

Is there a guarantee
to catch fish? |
|
We
do our best to ensure a
catch for you but there are
no guarantees in sport
fishing, that is what makes
it a sport. However,
we have based our business,
for 57 years, sport fishing The Salmon
Capital of the World for a
reason! Check out our photo
gallery. Tight lines! |

Is it possible to
fly into the West Coast as well as
fly out? |
|
Unfortunately,
there is often marine
fog/haze in the mornings on
the West Coast which would
prevent a plane from landing
in the area. It
usually burns off by
mid-morning, but it's
valuable fishing time
lost. It's best to
drive in, get some quality
fishing done and fly out
when the weather is much
more predictable, if you
choose that convenience. |

Why
is there an additional cost
for bait and how much is it? |
|
There
is an additional charge for
bait only if it is
used. At certain times
of the year, the water
conditions and feeding
patterns of the fish dictate
whether bait is used or
not. The cost can
range from $14 (typical for
Campbell River fishing) up
to approximately $50 (for
halibut fishing in our West
Coast / Nootka Sound / Gold
River
destination). The size
of halibut in general and
the techniques used require
a larger volume of bait than
for salmon. Crabs and
prawns also require the use
of bait (minimal cost). |
