Why victoria?

Victoria BC offers year round Salmon and bottom fishing, as well as close access to banks and current swept shore lines. Victoria offers a wide variety of fishing styles and opportunities depending on the time of year and weather.

From the waters of Sooke, which is located 45 minutes west of Victoria, to the numerous banks centered in the straight of Juan De Fuca and all the way to the door steps of the luxurious Oak Bay homes, fishing hot spots are abundant in the 70 mile long straight.
