COASTAL FISHING

Port Hardy Salmon Fishing Getaway with Bear Cove Cottages

Rich in history and tradition, the first known inhabitants of Vancouver Island lived in the quaint coastal town of Port Hardy.  Towering cedars, pristine coastline and a prolific saltwater fishery make Port Hardy a mainstay attraction to those visiting Vancouver Island every year. Owned by Wade and Shannon Dayley, Bear Cove Cottages provide anglers and adventurers alike a multitude of accommodation and package options. Offering three different accommodation options for singles, couples or groups, Bear Cove Cottages and Wicked Salmon Charters work in unison to provide an authentic Vancouver Island fishing experience. All five species of Pacific salmon, halibut, ling cod and various rockfish are available throughout the summer months in the waters surrounding Port Hardy. Some of the largest migratory Chinook salmon found anywhere in the Pacific tuck into Bear Cove Cottages’ fishing grounds as schools of Herring congregate near rock shelves and rock islands. If the desire to explore some of the area’s additional activities, guests can partake in beach-combing, kayaking, whale watching, or hike the lush forest of Cape Scott Provincial Park.
