A Campbell River salmon guide operating with Dolphins Resort, with a perfect five-star record and many repeat clients, known for consistent chinook limits, a well-equipped boat and a warm, family-style approach.
Campbell River Top Guides is a salmon guiding service tied to Dolphins Resort in Campbell River, and every one of its reviews is five stars. Much of the praise goes to one lifelong local guide, and a striking number of reviewers have fished with him for many years, some two or three times a season.
Anglers describe him as hard-working, adaptable and willing to explain his thinking, which experienced fishers appreciate as much as beginners. Reports include limits by late morning, big chinook (springs) all day, and multiple tyees over the years. His boat and equipment are called top-notch.
Repeat guests say the resort setup makes things easy, with cabins, a restaurant, fish processing, boxed lunches for the boat and a private dock on site. Families with kids report being fully involved in the action, including pulling crab traps. It suits anyone who wants a personal, returning-guest kind of experience.
There are no complaints in the reviews. With many clients returning each year, dates can fill up, so book early for peak salmon season.
