Hey guys

 

I am heading to Victoria BC between March 14-21st and was wondering if anyone knew of a good guide service to use to go steelheading

 

I have googled a few, and sent emails but I have not received any replies. Sany help would be appreciated, thanks

I was raised in Victoria and still go back at least once a year. Cowichan Fly and Tackle now changed to Gord s Fly Box has Drift boat specials for $180.00 for 5hrs. Fish are starting to enter the rivers now and will be in full swing when you are there. Lot s of places to fish there but be sure to check the regs, They become rather tricky along the Cowichan. If not choosing the Cowichan then I would try Sooke or the Stamp river up island.

I don't know anything about the area at all. I just want to find a decent guide so I can hook into a couple fish lol

 

Thanks for the information

 

We are staying in a condo in downtown Victoria

 

is there any good shore fishing nearby???

You can fish right off the break wall in Victoria Harbour

Nice, any idea of what you can get there from shore???

[Mike P]

I've caught salmon from the breakwall before, also flounder and numerous types of bottom fish. Try using Buzz Bombs, Zelda or Pline lures and jigs in the 2 & 3oz size found in any store out there. The winter feeder chinooks are around Victoria at the moment in the 5lbs to 12lbs range.

Langford and Elk lake also produce from shore at this time of year. Both lakes are very close to Victoria.

Right on, thanks for the information!!

 

I am getting pretty excited to go out there. Never been out west before!!!!
