Fly Fishing Tour on Vancouver Island

Meet at Gold River Marina for a tour orientation and welcome coffee/tea with pastries (included) and receive a briefing on rainbow trout regulations and catch-and-release practices (per DFO guidelines). Guides tailor instruction to your skill level, covering casting techniques and fly selection . Then we will depart for our fishing adventure. Board a comfortable drift boat and head to prime fishing stretches of the Gold River within Strathcona Provincial Park. Enjoy the serene beauty of crystal-clear waters and lush forests as you drift through calm sections. Start fly-fishing with hands on guidance, targeting rainbow trout in riffles, pools, and runs. Beginners learn casting basics, while experienced anglers refine techniques with advanced fly patterns. Pause on a scenic riverbank for complimentary snacks (granola bars, fruit) and beverages (water, juice), soaking in views of Strathcona’s mountains and wildlife like bald eagles or otters. Continue fly-fishing, focusing on filling your experience with rainbow trout catches (catch-and-release encouraged per DFO regulations to preserve the fishery). Guides assist with fly changes and spotting prime trout lies. At the end we'll return to Marina where you'll depart.
