Campbell River

Touted as the “Salmon Capital of the World,” Vancouver Island’s Campbell River is on the doorstep of one of the world’s most impressive salmon migrations. It’s also home to legendary Painter’s Lodge, where expert guides take anglers on four-, eight- or 12-hour excursions from May to September. Although the chinook migration peaks in August, it’s possible to catch a coveted 30-pound tyee throughout the season.
