Light Tackle Inshore Salmon
You can fish for salmon in Vancouver 365 days a year — yes, even in the middle of winter. Our local saltwater fishery offers true year-round opportunity, with prime conditions typically running from February through September. These productive waters see returns of all five species of Pacific salmon: Chinook, Coho, Chum, Pink, and Sockeye. We focus on light tackle to maximize the fight and the fun, rather than heavy gear. Depending on the season and conditions, we fish a mix of bait and artificial lures, using downriggers to precisely target salmon as they travel along the coastline. It’s hands-on, engaging fishing — trolling tight to productive shoreline structure and intercepting migrating fish as they move through Vancouver’s coastal waters.
Vancouver Salmon Fishing Report
Vancouver enjoys one of the longest saltwater salmon seasons on the West Coast. You can truly fish all 12 months of the year here, with prime dates typically running from February through late September. Summer is the peak, offering outstanding opportunities for Chinook, Coho, and Pink salmon in our local waters. That said, the action doesn’t stop when the temperatures drop. December and January can produce excellent fishing for hard-fighting winter Chinook as they feed close to shore. Winter is also a fantastic time to drop traps for spot prawns and Dungeness crab, a pretty great bonus to any day on the water. The slowest stretch is usually October and November, when many salmon are migrating into local rivers. If you’re looking for the latest conditions, we’re always happy to provide an up-to-date Vancouver salmon fishing report, just drop us a line.

Jason Assonitis
Jason Assonitis has been hooked on saltwater fishing since he was a kid, and that stoke hasn’t faded one bit. His love for fishing locally in Vancouver is a big part of what makes every trip with him feel dialed, relaxed, and genuinely fun. Jason has been guiding full-time since his teenage years in the 1990s, logging thousands of days on the water. Few guides in British Columbia have the kind of hands-on salmon fishing experience he brings to the dock every morning. His Vancouver crew is one of the most seasoned teams in the city, running charters year-round and staying on the fish through every season. If you’re looking for the best salmon fishing guides in Vancouver — the kind who know the tides, the runs, and how to keep things light and fun — this is the crew you want to fish with.
