Main targets
Chinook Salmon
Oncorhynchus tshawytscha
The largest Pacific salmon and the top target for BC and Pacific Northwest boat anglers. Chinook feed aggressively around tide changes and along structure.
Coho Salmon
Oncorhynchus kisutch
Acrobatic and aggressive, coho are the shore angler's salmon. They push baitfish against beaches in the fall and hit fast-moving lures.
Rockfish (Sebastes spp.)
Sebastes spp.
Dozens of species share one habit: structure. Rockfish are the reliable backbone of BC bottom fishing and perfect for new boat anglers.
Pink Salmon
Oncorhynchus gorbuscha
The smallest and most numerous Pacific salmon, famous for huge schooling runs every second year. Pinks bite small pink lures willingly and are the easiest salmon for beginners to catch from shore.
Steelhead
Oncorhynchus mykiss
The sea-run form of rainbow trout and one of the most prized river fish in North America. Steelhead hold in fast, broken water, take a wide range of drifted and swung offerings, and fight with long runs and jumps.
