What Salmon Fishers Say about Vancouver BC's awesome rivers!

“Unbelievable Squamish River Salmon Fishing”

I was attending a conference in Vancouver and a buddy talked me into going on an impromptu fishing trip with Brian our guide from Silversides Fishing. I was completely unprepared to go fishing, but Brian said no worries, that he could outfit me – and he did. Unbelievable “catching” day, with multiple Chum hookups for both Zack and myself, with a number at 20 lbs. So needless to say, quite the experience.

“Pink Salmon on the Fly”

Great day was had fishing for Pinks on the Squamish river in BC. Brian picked up from downtown Vancouver, provided lunch, all the gear along with photography through out the day of me casting and catching, with the all important trophy shot of my biggest fish. At the end of the day Brian drove back along the scenic route 99 and got me safely back to Vancouver. Great scenery, awesome fishing, those Pinks pull your arm off! 10/10 so good I’ve rebooked a return trip.

“Fly Fishing the Squamish River”

The whole day was marvellous! Not only did we catch Pink salmon, the walk in to the river was beautiful (although a bit strenuous because we are old!). The place we were taken to was unbelievable; the Squamish river at her finest! We give the experience an A+.

“Fly Fishing on the Squamish”

An excellent “walk and wade” day – fly fishing on the Squamish. I took 10 very very fresh Chum, boy these fish fight!! My guide (Alex) was really excellent, very knowledgeable, a great teacher and very patient… and great fun.

“Fantastic Chum Salmon Fishing!”

Booked Brian and another boat for 3 days fishing late October.
He found the salmon and was constantly changing /tying lures and flies to ensure the fishing was constant.
Best 3 days fishing for a very good price we had whilst spending 10 days in the area.
By far the best value for money company (we used 3 different companies whilst in Canada ).

“5 Star Guide Service all around”

I am so happy with Brian’s service that we are returning in December to hunt Bull Trout and fish for Winter Steelhead with him on the fly. All I can say is: “5 Star Guide Service all around”. If you want to catch big chrome fish – Silversides Fishing is the place to call. Many thanks Brian! See you in December.

Cheers, Jeff Cooper – Alberta, Canada

Fraser River Valley Salmon - Jet boat charters

 

Available September 7 to November 27 - Particularly great Chum Salmon fishing happens October 20 - Nov 27!

Ride in the comfort of our modern 21 ft covered, heated and fast jet boats that will get you to the best spots on the Fraser River or one of it's productive tributaries like the Stave, Harrison or Vedder.

Departure location is the Mission, BC boat launch, smack in the middle of several key salmon rivers!

Salmon fishing from the boat is typical but getting out of the boat and shore fishing is a very effective method in some cases.

Once we're on top of the salmon you will be casting lures that will entice a strike. Better set that hook fast!

All tackle and waders are supplied plus any coaching to help give you the Silversides advantage.

Squamish River Salmon - Walk n wade

 

Available October 1 to November 30 every year

In Odd numbered years there's Pink Salmon from July 15 to Sept 1

Your Squamish River licensed salmon expert will drive you to key locations along the river where beautiful pools, runs and riffles await you in your pursuit of Pacific salmon.

Make sure to take your camera as the natural setting here is truly remarkable! High mountain peaks, glaciers, thick coastal rain forests and plenty of wildlife is the scene here.

Salmon fishing is done from the shore here using fly fishing(the preferred method here) but lures & jigs work well too. You'll be right in front of salmon as they make their way up stream for the Fall spawn. These fish are chrome and fresh from the ocean in most cases and put up a great fight!

All tackle and waders are supplied plus any coaching to help give you the Silversides advantage.

Meet the owner Brian Mack

Hi, this is Silversides Fishing owner/operator & head guide Brian Mack. Thanks for checking out our guided Salmon fishing services! I started Silversides back in 1996 as a result of having a very deep passion to be structuring my life in the outdoors field, primarily in the sport fishing realm.  Well it's been quite the adventure! Over the years we have developed a connection with our BC wild salmon. We cherish them, love them, protect them, and are really good at catching them too!

As a child I remember what my father always taught me: "Don't take short cuts when it comes to quality because 'good enough' isn't good enough at all." That's why I am always driven to stay on top of our game and never accept 2nd place. But we have to do this with perseverance, laughter and most of all humbleness.

As for experience, I have been Salmon fishing(fly and lure) the southwest corner of the BC region since the mid 80's.

If you want the best chance of hooking up with our Pacific Salmon in our rivers then Contact us today.

» We are proud to say: You'll have the distinct Silversides advantage out there when fishing for Salmon

“Must Do Adventure While in Vancouver”

Never mind Grouse mountain or Capilano suspension bridge.
This is the the Most fun adventure you will do while visiting Vancouver.
Both Louise and our Fishing Guide Brian were amazing.
Caught 2 monster Sturgeons, pushing 250 plus pounds each.
Even my 11yr old son Was able to catch some much smaller fish. He can’t stop talking about it.
Brian Thank you !!!!

“Great Fly Fishing”

Had a successful day on the Squamish river hooking into and landing multiple Bull Trout. Brian put us right where we needed to be. I was impressed with his ability to read the river and know right where there would be fish. An adventure shared by an amateur myself and an absolute rookie who was able to hook into and catch her own fish with Brian’s guidance. I highly suggest fly fishing with Silversides Fishing for unforgettable scenery and great fishing to match.
