2023 PINK SALMON

Pink salmon is a species of salmon that spawn in rivers and streams along the west coast of North America, including British Columbia, Canada. The Squamish River in British Columbia is one significant river where pink salmon return to spawn. Pink salmon hatch from eggs in freshwater streams and spend their first few months in them before migrating to the Ocean. After 18 months in the Ocean, adult pink salmon return to their streams to spawn. Pink salmon fishing is officially open as of July 2023. We typically​ see pink salmon entering the Squamish River from mid-July onwards. Embarking on pink salmon fishing trips presents a remarkable opportunity for families to engage in thrilling outings, catching wild salmon while appreciating the surrounding wildlife and the scenic landscape of the Squamish River. It will also please the more die-hard angler seeking a unique experience as we have the rare opportunity to fish for them a few kilometres away from the Ocean—pink salmon average around 4-8lbs; a perfect size for a seasoned angler or beginner-level individual. Come and join us from mid-July onwards in fishing for wild salmon!
