Fishing in Sooke
Sooke is widely known as a pacific salmon
fishing hotspot. Large salmon runs frequent these waters off
Vancouver Island year-round. From Sooke to Port Renfrew, this
region boasts Chinook (King) Salmon, Coho (Silver), and Winter
Spring Salmon, in addition to incredible Halibut fishing.
Sooke gets many visitors from around the globe that return
year after year to enjoy the Sooke region, and catch another
'big one'!

Sooke has several local marinas for launching and mooring
your boat, or if you'd rather, enlist the expertise
of one of the local charter fishing companies. Charters
are popular because the local fishing guides are experienced
in our waters, and know the tips and tricks, and the
best places to catch big fish!

Whale Watching
The waters off Vancouver
Island are rich with marine life, and offer awesome viewing
of orcas (killer whales), minke whales, sealions, sea otters
and marine birds, such as eagles and herons. The coast near
Port Renfrew is a natural nesting area for puffins. The
local whale watching guides keep up with the direction the
orca pods are travelling each day, and offer respectful
viewing of the 'killer whales'. Regulations are in place
to ensure the safety and comfort of both the whale watching
passengers and the whales.
If you have never heard
the barking of sealions in their natural habitat, or seen
their antics up close, an adventure to Race Rocks is an
awesome treat. Race Rocks is a protected ecological area
that has been compared to the Galapagos Islands. Race Rocks
is viewable only by boat... your whale watching guide know
exactly where to go!
Local whale watching and
charter fishing companies are listed below.
