About Us at Absolute Sportfishing, Salmon Fishing Guides

  

Fishing is a lifelong pursuit. Whether you are an avid fisherman or a first timer, once you have experienced the thrill of fighting a feisty Pacific Chinook salmon, you will be hooked forever.

Come and enjoy the experience of a lifetime in Campbell River, the "Salmon Capital of the World" and the birthplace of sport fishing for salmon on the west coast of Canada.

Absolute Sportfishing is a professional fishing guide company with 15 years experience exclusively in the Campbell River area, utilizing the finest in west coast tackle and equipment. Our goal is to provide comfortable first-class fishing charters that are exciting, educational, scenic and enjoyable. Fishing is our passion and being located on the central east side of Vancouver Island allows us to fish all five species of Pacific Salmon as they migrate through our region. We also have the luxury of being able to offer prawning or crabbing as well as bottom fishing for delicious ling cod, red snapper and rock cod (seasonal) along with our salmon fishing.

Be sure to bring your camera as marine wildlife is abundant in our area. Killer whales (Orcas) often pass within a few yards of the boat and bald eagles aren't camera shy either. Also, we encounter seals and sea lions, Pacific white-sided dolphins, porpoises, and black bears foraging on shore. The area offers spectacular scenery. You'll be amazed by the phenomenal tidal flows through the world famous Seymour Narrows, site of the historic Ripple Rock explosion.

Your personal comfort and safety is assured as we boast a minimum 10-20 years experience fishing the Campbell River area. Your guides are fully insured, marine emergency A3 certified, VHF radio licensed, and the fishing boats are fully covered with washroom facilities (marine head), Coast Guard approved and Transport Canada safety inspected.

We also offer guided freshwater fishing for salmon, steelhead and trout on the beautiful rivers in the region. Fly fishing, spinner, or float (drift) fishing, the choices are many! Thank you for taking the time to check us out. For more information, contact us using our convenient online form, or you can call us at 250-203-1162.
