Fishing in the Comox Valley
Fishing enthusiasts will find the Comox Valley an angler’s paradise!
The Salish Sea and Baynes Sound are top spots for fishing salmon, cod, and even prawns, while the Puntledge River and Comox Lake are perfect for freshwater fishing.
Popular methods include chartered boats with professional guides, fly fishing, and beach casting.
For the best experience, booking a local guide is recommended—they’ll help you maximize your time on the water and share their expert knowledge.
You can enjoy fishing year-round, with seasonal variations in the types of fish available. Peak seasons offer the chance to catch Ling, Pacific, and Rock Cods, and from October to May, you can harvest B.C. Spot Prawn and Dungeness Crab.
Comox Valley is renowned for its abundant Chinook Salmon, which migrate in the Salish Sea, providing a thrilling fishing adventure anytime.
Whether you’re aiming for freshwater or saltwater (also known as tidal water) catches, you’ll need a provincial and/or federal fishing license, which can be conveniently purchased online or from local vendors.
