Salmon Fishing is synonymous with B.C. fishing charters. Ucluelet on Vancouver Island rivals all the best west coast locations. At Wild Pacific Charters, you reliably get to where the salmon are found! Departing as early as 5:30 a.m., guests are provided a full day of fishing. You guides have pinpointed many ‘out of the weather “tacks”, so the salmon fishing charter continues through the afternoon, even in inclement weather. Anglers commonly catch 20 to 30 lb Chinook Salmon all summer long, with some catches weighing up to 50 lbs.
We don’t just have salmon fishing, halibut fishing is another fantastic fishery we have
Reserving a boat is highly recommended, best times book up fast
The geographical location of Ucluelet is perfect for intercepting all species of migrating Vancouver Island Salmon that are traveling down the outside waters of Vancouver Island. Salmon congregate on the offshore banks with highly productive waters fueled by cold up welling currents, hungry salmon like to stop and feed on the abundant schools of herring, pilchards, squid and needle fish. Fishermen often witness huge balls of bait fish being terrorized by roaming schools of hungry salmon.
The equipment we use consists of Scotty long arm downriggers, Shimano Tekota 600 Lever Drag Reels with 30 pound test line, and Shimano Technium 10.6 foot long rods. Also have Shimano and Islander Precision knuckle buster reels for a more challenging fight with the fish. We troll a variety of Flashers with spoons, hoochies, or bait especially using anchovy also plugs are used to entice these fish to bite. BC Salmon fishing is very relaxing due to the fact the rod is in a rod holder so you only have to have the rod in your hand while fighting the fish. While waiting for your rod to show signs of a fish you will be comfortably enjoying the scenery, and wildlife.

BC Salmon Fishing Trips end in the mid afternoon,which allows time to get the fish processed. Wild Pacific Charters recommends “Fishful Thinking” for quality processing. By the time you’re ready to return home, your fish is cleaned, vacuum packed and frozen, travel-ready and ready to cook. For more time on the water, book a package fishing charter of two or more days of salmon fishing. Multiple days allows more fishing time, since the fish can be stored on ice or frozen. Only on the final day of the fishing charter does the water time have to be cut short to allow time for fish processing.
As an added bonus, you’ll see some of the most spectacular scenery in the world as you cruise the pristine wilderness off B.C.’s Vancouver Island. Bring your camera – you’ll be filming more than just the big one! See the Salmon Fishing and Halibut Fishing picture gallery.
