BC Coastal Fishing
With Captain Chris Steinbach
Campbell River/Comox Valley
For your convenience we operate out of Campbell river and Comox . We also take into consideration which area has the best salmon fishing opportunities and regulations as this changes regularly.
Comox Valley and Campbell River fishing offer excellent Chinook Salmon action close to shore in protected calm waters.
The Town of Comox is a convenient stepping off point to a great days fishing. The Comox Valley is in the "banana belt" on Vancouver Islands east coast. Calm seas and blue skies are normal here during summer/fall months.
Campbell River salmon fishing known world wide as the "Salmon capital of the world", offers calm waters with great Salmon fishing close to down town. or enjoy a spectacular day fishing one of the remote inlets where you'll see abundant marine life, great scenery and awesome Salmon fishing!
The Campbell River/Comox Valley area has year round fishing opportunities.
Summer
June, July, August, September
As summer comes, so do the fish in great numbers. This is the time of year the tyee class (over 30lbs) chinook come in and coho and pinks show up for some light tackle fun. Summer brings calm water and warm weather.
Fall
October, November
The fall time is chum salmon time! These fish range from 10-25 lbs and can fight hard. Its not uncommon to have nonstop action when fishing chum!
Winter months
December, January, February, March
These are prime months for catching “winter springs” (chinook salmon). Fish from 8 to 15 lbs are common. Top off your winter fishing trip with prawns and crab.
Spring
April, May
The chinook start to get bigger in spring, the prawn fishing is great and the weather can be spectacular. Spring time is also a great time for a mainland inlet trip (such as Desolation Sound or Toba inlet)Try dropping the prawn traps and while you wait do a little sight seeing, bear watching, maybe see some whales or dolphins among the towering mountains and gorgeous waterfalls. Or a little trolling around for salmon.
