Fishing out of Port Hardy

Diverse Fisheries: Port Hardy is a gateway to a wide range of fishing opportunities. With the ability to go north, south, east, or west, we access almost 2 million acres of prime fishing area(We counted). We know that even if one area isn't producing as it should, we are able to access many more which are loaded with Chinook and Coho Salmon, Halibut, Lingcod, Rockfish, Black Cod(Sablefish), and even Albacore Tuna. 

World-Class Salmon Fishing: Port Hardy is particularly known for its world-class salmon fishing. Multiple species of salmon, including Chinook (king), Coho, Pink, Sockeye, and Chum, migrate through these waters. An immense number of salmon swim through the waters we fish out of Port Hardy, including some of the trophy-sized salmon headed to spawn in Rivers Inlet.

Stunning Scenic Beauty: The surroundings of Port Hardy are nothing short of breathtaking. With pristine coastal waters, lush forests, and rugged coastline, the region offers a remarkable backdrop for fishing. The area is also home to a variety of wildlife, from whales and dolphins to eagles and bears.

Variety of Fishing Styles: Port Hardy caters to a variety of fishing styles, including mooching, salt water fly fishing, trolling, and bottom fishing. Whether you're a novice or experienced angler, there's an opportunity to enjoy the type of fishing that suits your preferences.

Local Expertise: Having spent the last 7 years, and thousands of hours fishing in and around Port Hardy has left me with plenty of in-depth knowledge of the local waters. I can provide valuable insights and guidance to help you make the most of your fishing adventure.

Offshore Adventures: Port Hardy's location, especially with its sister port Coal Harbour provides easy access to offshore fishing adventures. You can venture out to the open Pacific Ocean in search of larger species like halibut, lingcod, and tuna adding an extra element of excitement to your fishing trips.

Relatively Untouched Fisheries: Unlike more heavily fished areas, the waters around Port Hardy receive less fishing pressure, which often leads to healthier fish populations and increased chances of successful catches. Many of the spots we fish, are almost never fished by anyone else. 

Sustainable Practices: Because of its location, we don't target individual runs of chinook, but the species as a whole as it swims past and fattens up for its journey home. This allows us to take evenly from many runs, not harming any individual returns.
