Experience Salmon Fishing in Campbell River with Capt. Scott of Riptide Fishing!

Experience the ultimate Salmon fishing adventure on Campbell River with Captain Scott Kratzmann and Riptide Fishing! With over 30 years of fishing expertise and more than 20 years of guiding trips, Capt. Scott knows exactly where to find the best fishing spots.

Campbell River is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, offering breathtaking views and incredible fishing opportunities. All 5 species of Pacific Salmon migrate through this area, guaranteeing you a solid chance of catching your next trophy. From February to October, you can also enjoy popular Halibut and Lingcod fishing, as long as the season is open.

Your fishing expedition will take place aboard a spacious 25' cuddy cabin boat equipped with twin 115 HP Yamaha engines. With room for up to 4 anglers, the vessel provides a comfortable experience, including a private toilet and a cabin for resting between bites. It's a clean and efficient boat that will whisk you away to the most productive fishing spots of the day.

On board, you'll find quality Islander reels and Trophy XL rods, so no need to bring your own. However, if you prefer fly fishing, make sure to bring your own gear. After the trip, Capt. Scott will clean and fillet your catch, so you can enjoy it as soon as you return home.

Capt. Scott warmly welcomes anglers of all ages and skill levels, ensuring an exciting and memorable experience for everyone. Just remember to purchase your fishing license, pack some snacks and drinks, and let Riptide Fishing take care of the rest!
