A great host and fisherman, Warren has shown some of the world's top anglers to great fishing and spectacular scenery in the waters around Quadra island and Campbell River.

Whether you go out for a few hours looking for feisty chinook salmon or for a full day on a photography/fishing trip, you can count on a marvellous time!

He's shown orcas to movie stars, and politicians, fed the eagles with corporate executives, families, couples and single anglers. He is an excellent guide who has been fishing since the 1950's.

Truth is, Warren was co-owner of April Point Lodge for almost 50 years and he just can't give up his favourite habit - fishing!

It’s all about fun!!!!

At Coastal Wilderness Adventures, Curtis Smith and his team will give you an unforgettable experience during your stay. Whether you choose Saltwater fishing or Freshwater fishing, we’ve got something fun in store.

Campbell River, the “Salmon Capital of the World,” is situated in a prime location, as it is central to many very productive fishing waters of Vancouver Island. The waters surrounding the Campbell River area are very sheltered and offer calm seas, along with great fishing. There is no ocean swell (a common cause of sea-sickness), which makes for a very pleasant fishing trip.

On your trip you might also spot some of the other local wildlife: resident or transient orca whales, pacific white-sided dolphins, black bears and eagles.

We offer free pick up for guests on Quadra Island, either right at the dock at your vacation rental property or in Quathiaski Cove beside the ferry dock.

For our Saltwater trips we use comfortable, 24’ covered and heated Grady White fishing boats, equipped with onboard washrooms. Our boats are outfitted with high-end equipment and are certified by Transport Canada.

On River and Lake trips we use 12-14 foot self-baling river rafts when not on foot. Transportation to and from our river destinations is provided in comfort with our spacious and comfortable new model 4X4 pickup. Just walk on the ferry from Quadra and we will pick you up at the terminal in Campbell River.

We typically fly-fish for our local species; however we are equipped for all methods of fishing. We invite anglers of all skill levels, as we are very patient and understanding of beginner anglers.

With personable and professional guides, your day is sure to be a success in more ways than one.
