Salmon Science Research

We’ll be measuring length and sampling for DNA which will identify each salmon’s home river. If you release fish we’ll be tagging them with a PIT tag, a tiny electronic tag. You’ll be helping grow the knowledge base of these migrating salmon.

Brightfish Charters -  Rates & Trips

Tyee Rowboat Fishing

2 1/2 Hour Trip – $ 300
Rowing Day (3 Trips) – $ 850

Elegantly simple fishing in the historic Tyee Club rules tradition. Light tackle, no motor, close to the fish, hold the rod, strike the fish. Catching a mature chinook salmon in a rowboat is a challenge and a thrill. Catching an elusive 30-pound Tyee will get you membership in the exclusive Tyee Club of British Columbia. Available August 5 to Sept 15. The rowboat holds 1 or 2 anglers. (see Tyee fishing)

Row and Motorboat Combo

Aug 5 to Sept 15. Row a tide in the morning and head out in the motorboat for the later day. Or have an evening row after motorboat fishing.
5 hours of motorboat fishing and a rowboat tide of 2 1/2 hours – $ 1150

Breakaway Day Trip with Lunch Stop

Fish away, and have lunch further out at a lodge or marina. Stretch your legs, check out the lay of the land, and have a nice lunch. Not too long though, the water calls. The choice of location for the lunch break will depend on the season and the fish patterns.
8hrs fishing and approx. an hour lunch time – $ 1420

Exploration Cruise to Overnight Lodging

A real get-away. Have the best combination of a cruise and fishing and lovely remote accommodations. Begin at Campbell River or Quadra Island and spend an overnight or two at a remote lodge. Get the full experience in the sheltered back country channels where the ocean meets the mountains. We can circle around islands, so you return on a different route than you went out on. You can fly easily into Campbell River, or arrive by car, and we’ll take you from there. You often get a choice of lodging according to your style and budget. Location choices for away trips will be influenced by the salmon’s life calendar.
