Arrowsmith Adventures is a premier West Coast fishing outfit based in Port Alberni, British Columbia – a renowned destination for Salmon fishing enthusiasts. Our location boasts abundant Salmon returns, making it one of the top spots in the world for this sport.

Your fishing experience will take place aboard our 26' Kingfisher boat. Equipped with a powerful 250 HP Suzuki engine and a 20 HP wireless trolling motor, the vessel comfortably accommodates up to 5 guests. While everyone can fish simultaneously, trolling allows for a maximum of 2-4 fishing rods in the water at one time. Safety is paramount, and our boat is equipped with all necessary safety gear and top-of-the-line Lowrance navigational equipment.

Your fishing targets will include Halibut, Lingcod, Rockfish, as well as various species of Salmon such as Chinook (Springs), Coho, and Sockeye. Depending on your desired catch, we employ various techniques including trolling, jigging, bottom or drift fishing. Our experienced captain primarily uses live herring as bait to attract the fish.

For those seeking a complete retreat experience, Captain Jesse offers multi-day trips with accommodation. Additional services such as pickup from nearby airports or ferry terminals to the lodge can be arranged at an extra cost. The area is served by three airports, with pickup rates at $75 per person (round trip) for the two nearest ones, and $100 per person (round trip) for the furthest one. Our captain is happy to tailor any package to suit your specific needs, so feel free to communicate your preferences in advance.

Before embarking on your trip, remember to purchase a fishing license. Rest assured, we provide all necessary fishing equipment for your convenience.

In addition to the thrilling fishing experience, this beautiful region offers other delightful spots for relaxation. After a day filled with fishing action, Captain Jesse can take you to picturesque locations like the stunning Sprout Lake or the refreshing Somass River, where you can take a dip and unwind.
