We invite you to experience some of the very best BC saltwater fishing. Join us for salmon fishing and halibut fishing in the waters of Nootka Sound, Tahsis and Esperanza Inlets on the West Coast of Vancouver Island, BC. With Island Tides Fishing Lodge & BC Fishing Charters you will have the benefit of fishing for salmon and halibut from safe, comfortable 22' – 24', fully equipped fishing boats with marine heads and plenty of cover from the elements. You’ll battle trophy Chinook salmon (Kings) and Coho salmon (Silvers) on light tackle and if you like bottom fishing you will have ample opportunity to play tug of war with giant Halibut, Lingcod, Red Snapper and various species of rockfish. We usually finish off the day by pulling our prawn traps on the way back to the Lodge - Vancouver Island fishing just doesn't get any better than this.

At Island Tides Outdoor Lodge and BC Fishing Charters, we have over 25 years of local fishing experience. Our fly fishing guides are very knowledgeable about the hot fishing spots on our local Vancouver Island Rivers and lakes. When it comes to BC fly fishing, we know when and where to make it happen on Vancouver Island. This is an angler’s paradise with miles of productive and un-crowded rivers, lakes and streams that are home to Steelhead, 3 species of Trout and all 5 species of Pacific Salmon. The coastal waters around Vancouver Island also provide BC fly fishing enthusiasts with fantastic saltwater fly fishing opportunities to cast to ocean-bright salmon as they feed along the beaches and kelp beds that line the shore. more...
