The Day
Prepare for an exciting day on the water with all necessary fishing gear provided, including fresh bait. Feel free to bring your favorite rod and reel suitable for salmon if you prefer. Please note that a BC Tidal Waters fishing license is required to participate. If you wish to retain salmon, you must also purchase a salmon stamp with your license.
We will meet at 5:45am at the gate at the top of the Public Wharf located at the left side of the Atlin Terminal Building in Cow Bay. See map below
For your comfort, we recommend wearing a warm underlayer with rain gear or a windbreaker jacket. Light, waterproof, non-slip footwear is suggested as the deck can be slippery. Please avoid heavy hiking boots or work boots as they can damage the boat deck. Early season (April through June) can have fluctuating temperatures, so it's best to dress in layers.
Pack a lunch, water, and your favorite beverages. Alcohol is permitted on board, but please consume responsibly. For everyone's safety, any guest who becomes inebriated will result in the trip being cut short.
