What visitors say
Campbell River Fishing Guide runs several boats and guides out of Campbell River, and almost all of its reviews are five stars. Guests name a handful of different guides and speak well of each, describing them as knowledgeable about the local fishery and good coaches once a fish is on.
Speed of action comes up again and again: several groups had fish on within minutes of lines going in, and one had a 20 lb salmon in the boat inside 20 minutes. Anglers report limits, chinook including a couple of tyees, and full freezers after eight-hour days. Boats are described as clean, comfortable and well maintained, and one guest who fished two boats on back-to-back days said both were in good shape.
Trips range from half days to two-day outings, and the operation suits a wide mix of groups: father-daughter trips, families, and a six-person stag party. Guides also get credit for reading the weather, such as heading out early for calmer water, and one reviewer liked that their guide avoided the crowds of sport fishing boats around Quadra Island.
There are very few complaints among the reviews shown. Because trips are spread across several guides, ask who you'll be fishing with if you have a preference, and be ready to go early when the forecast calls for wind.
