2025 PINK SALMON

Pink salmon are a species of salmon that spawn in rivers and streams along the west coast of North America, including British Columbia, Canada. One significant river where pink salmon return to spawn is the Squamish River. They hatch from eggs in freshwater streams, spend their first few months there, and then migrate to the ocean. After 18 months in the ocean, adult pink salmon return to their home streams to spawn.

Pink salmon fishing typically opens in July, with salmon beginning to enter the Squamish River from mid-July onwards. Fishing for pink salmon offers an exciting opportunity for families to enjoy an outdoor adventure—catching wild salmon while taking in the stunning scenery and diverse wildlife of the Squamish River. It also appeals to dedicated anglers looking for a unique experience, as we have the rare chance to fish for them just a few kilometers from the ocean.

Pink salmon typically weigh between 4 and 8 pounds, making them an ideal catch for both seasoned anglers and beginners. Join us from mid-July onwards for an unforgettable wild salmon fishing experience!
