  • Fishing on Vancouver Island

    For thousands of years the waters off Vancouver Island have been harvested for it’s rich sea life.

    Sport fishing is available year round, but the summer is the preferred time due to the abundance of salmon. Halibut fishing is also very popular. Halibut of up to 600 lbs have been caught in the local waters. Explore our Fins and Skins Packages including both golf and fishing!

    If you prefer to go it alone, boat charters are also available. There are tight restrictions on what you can and can’t keep, so using the skills of a charter operator is recommended. Just let our reservations agent know what you would like to do and we will take care of the rest for you.

    This (Bear Mountain Resort – Mountain Course, on the Vancouver Island Golf Trail) is my new favourite golf course – I just love the layout. It’s really one of the prettiest golf courses I’ve played in my life, I’ll come back here on vacation, it’s that good.
