Sooke salmon fishing charters are available May through September where you can fish for the largest species of Pacific Salmon, Chinooks, also known as Spring or King Salmon. Feisty Cohos abound July through October, along with Sockeye and scrappy Pinks.
Sooke has been a year-round destination for generations. Large runs of salmon migrate annually past the West Coast of Vancouver Island, feeding and bulking up before heading for their spawning grounds.
While cruising Vancouver Island's rugged coastline to the fishing grounds, seals, whales, eagles and porpoises are often along for the ride.

Salmon Fishing continues November into March with hard fighting Winter Chinooks, which are slightly smaller than Summer Chinooks but just as much fun to pull in.
