Fishing and Charters:
The catch of a lifetime is here in Powell River. From fly fishing our countless freshwater lakes or angling the saltwater, fishing is a year-round past time here on the upper Sunshine Coast. Coho Point and Blubber Bay on Texada Island and the waters around Harwood Island are some of the best spots for salmon. Or, hire a charter and fish the pristine waters while you take in the sights of world-famous Desolation Sound Marine Park.
Cast for Cutthroat and Rainbow Trout as you explore the many lakes and rivers. Bottom fish such as cod, snappers, and perch can also be caught in and around Powell River, not to mention the incredible prawning, clamming and crabbing!
