Fish at The World’s Best
Salmon Fishing Grounds
Where Salmon Thrive
Chrome Coast Fishing is ideally situated to intercept the southern migration of salmon during their spawning season. As the salmon journey down the BC coastline, they split into two routes around the Haida Gwaii islands, with the division occurring at the northern end of Graham Island—right where we are located! Here, the salmon are at their peak: bigger, fatter, and feistier—ready for an exhilarating fight!
How to get to Haida Gwaii
-
By Plane
Flying is the most direct method. From Vancouver, you can take a flight with Air Canada to Sandspit on Moresby Island or with Pacific Coastal Airlines to Masset on Graham Island. These flights offer a quick and convenient way to reach Haida Gwaii, reducing travel time significantly.
-
By Ferry
If you prefer a scenic route, you can take a ferry from Prince Rupert. BC Ferries operates a service to Skidegate on Graham Island, with the journey taking approximately 6-8 hours.
