The salt and fresh water
fishing conditions around Victoria, Sooke and Sidney on Vancouver
Island is prime as Vancouver Island falls within the path of the
salmon migrating routes and it enjoys many large lakes and rivers.
In Victoria, Sooke, Sidney and Oak
Bay there are river and ocean fishing tour companies and salt
water marinas.
The ocean and fresh water fishing charter companies and various
marinas are well versed in the local water routes and fishing holes.
The charter companies in the Victoria, BC, Canada region provide
tours including guides who will take you to the 'secret spots',
plus provide the fishing equipment, lessons and transportation.
You are most, likely responsible for getting your own fishing license.
Salt water fishing is huge here. The local chinook salmon explores
the Juan de Fuca Strait all year blending in seasonally with migrating
pink, coho, sockeye and chum salmon. If you limit out on salmon
or prefer the battle of a big fish then spend some time in the waters
off of Victoria, Sooke, Sidney and Oak Bay jigging for some halibut.
The lakes and rivers in the region are busy in the summer and winter
months with steelhead and trout. The fall months, the river's population
expands and waterways are busy with migratory salmon runs battling
up rivers to spawn. (more
