GOOD CHARTERS / GUIDES

I know that it is difficult to cut through some of the advertising with respect to guides sometimes.

Truth be told most guides that are in business on the BC coast are all good. They would not be in business still if they were not. However I will just list a couple that I have noticed or worked with/for as being worth your time!


Location Charter Name Notes
Victoria/Sooke/Port Renfrew Island Outfitters Good fishing outfitter company with boats out all the time.
Sooke/Port Renfrew WG's Guide Service Fished with him and have seen him out many times.
Sooke Gotcha Charters Fished with him ages ago but is out and knows the area.
Port Renfrew No Bananas! Is frequently on the leader board out of Port Renfrew whenever I see it.
Tofino/Clayoquot Sound Jay's Clayoquot Ventures Very solid operation with several boats and guides with freshwater and saltwater trips. They have always been very helpful when I stop by and ask for a report.
Vancouver Bonnie Lee Charters Guides are knowledgable and make the best of the hot and cold Vancouver fishery.
Vancouver Bites-On Good charter with a few boats accessible from downtown.

Hopefully if anyone is going to these areas looking for a guide, that these suggestions help! This list is not exclusive however, there are many more excellent fishing outfits that I am not aware of or haven't mentioned. This is simply meant to help those searching.
