You can find excellent vancouver fishing only 30 minutes from downtown Vancouver. Locals fish both the Capilano River below the dam and fish hatchery.

You'll also find them fishing the Burrard Inlet off one of the piers in West Vancouver, either the Ambleside pier at the foot of 14th and Marine Drive or the Dundarave pier at the foot of 25th and Marine.

However, if you want to do some vancouver salmon fishing (the kind of fishing British Columbia is famous for), then your best bet is to contact a local fishing shop.

Fishing is a time sensitive endeavor, at least around here. For the best chance to catch fish, you have to be at the right place at the right time; sometimes daily updates make all the difference.

Consequently, the best thing to do, if you're serious about catching fish, is to contact the experts at local fishing shops. They can tell you the best place to fish at the specific time you're going to be in town.
