Cariboo Chilcotin Coast

Rated among the top five diving locations in the world, the remote islands of the central coast offer fly-in fishing among some of the most spectacular runs that BC has to offer. BC's spectacular central coast is renowned for its catches, undiscovered fishing holes and striking wilderness scenery. But, when you are fishing for salmon, lingcod and yelloweye rockfish, you'd have to work hard not to see bears, bald eagles, seals and other wildlife, too. Even when you're relaxing in the comfort of one of the first-class resorts that dot this otherwise undeveloped coast. And, surprisingly, this whole coast is easily accessible too. Regularly scheduled floatplanes from Vancouver bring you right to the heart of this fishing paradise, or you can come in by road via the picturesque fishing village of Bella Coola.

• Reel in a trophy chinook in world-famous Hakai Pass, a pristine marine wilderness area of islands and bays.
• Discover reefs and fishing holes teeming with a variety of fish species.
• Charter a boat or use your own, and cruise west from Bella Coola along the unique Discovery Coast Passage to Ocean Falls, Bella Bella and Shearwater, enjoying superb salmon and halibut fishing along the way.
