Fishing Tour Questions
Where do you go fishing?
We fish off the west coast of Haida Gwaii, in Cartwright Sound (Tcenakun point) , known locally as Skidegate Point. Here, there is plenty of salmon, halibut, yellow eye (red snapper) rock fish, crabs, prawns and more.
How long is a fishing tour?
A typical fishing tour lasts between 8 and 10 hours. This includes about an hour travel one-way from Queen Charlotte to Carwright Sound.
Do I need a fising license, and What are my fishing limits?
All individuals planning to fish must purchase a fishing license online in advance. You must print your permit and carry it with you on the trip.
Information on fishing limits can be found through the Department of Fisheries and Oceans or through the Pacific Salmon Foundation and Halibut Science.
