If you need assistance getting accommodation in Port Alberni or anywhere else on the island, we can make all the arrangements for you or point you in the right direction.

We are provincially licensed to guide on over 25 rivers and lakes on Vancouver Island. So send me an email today with your dream fishing trip to the island, and we’ll make it happen.
