About Us
- Gary Stotts, Owner & Operator, Coastal Island Fishing Adventures Born and raised on Vancouver Island, I was taught to fish at a young age by my Grandfather. Since the first moment I picked up a fishing rod my lifelong passion for fishing began. I have been a professional saltwater and freshwater fishing guide in the areas of Campbell River, Nootka Sound, Tahsis and the Queen Charlotte Islands since 1991. 1 have also been a deckhand on commercial fishing boats on the BC coast. As the Owner & Operator of Coastal Island Fishing Adventures, I look forward to providing with you a friendly and professional guided fishing trip in our fully equipped, covered 23ft Grady White cruiser. |

Chris McGill, Skipper, Coastal Island Fishing Adventures Ever since I was a youngster, born and raised in Campbell River, and I have always loved teaching and showing people young and old how to catch world class salmon. I have been in the sport fishing industry since 1991 with Gary and have also spent 10 years operating large commercial vessels along the BC coast from Victoria to Alaska in the winter months. Now skippering Coastal Island Fishing Adventures' new fully equipped, covered and heated 25 ft Bayliner Trophy cruiser, fishing will never be the same! With my knowledge, experience and passion of being on the ocean combined with a true fishing machine, I'm sure you'll have a trip of a lifetime! |

Eric Borgfjord, Skipper, Coastal Island Fishing Adventures Born and raised up in Campbell River I have been fishing in the local waters long before I could drive a car. I used to have to bike to the boat ramp at 5 in the morning in order to spend the entire day doing what I liked the best. I started guiding and working at a boat rental company as a teenager, and have been back guiding for the past ten years. |

Rick Hackinen Skipper, Coastal Island Fishing Adventures Back in the 1970’s, I was a very keen salmon angler and explored much of the coast. When I started guiding in 1981, I learned that I am most enthusiastic about sharing the fishing experience with others. After eighteen years of successful guiding in a 17’ Boston whaler at one of the big old lodges, I spread out for a bit for the next ten years in a 24ft covered guide boat. |

Guest Comments: Hi, Gary and Eric. I only recently looked at the website and saw our picture on there. Boy, did it bring back memories of our cold but wonderful fishing trip. Of course y'all did not see the "rest of the story" getting the fish back to Texas. We did not arrive back in Anacortes until late at night after leaving Campbell River. We had been trying to find frozen gel packs all day and knew we had to put something freshly frozen with the fish. We finally went to the grocery store and bought a bunch of frozen vegetables. We then had to drive to Bellingham to our motel for the night. Our flight left early in the am. Michelle and Tim Romedy
Gary, I just thought I would drop you a note to let you know what a wonderful time my wife, girls, and I had with Chris on August 15th. The boat, and equipment were all first class. And as I am sure you are aware, Chris is a great guide. Courteous and personable, our family had a wonderful time with Chris learning about Salmon fishing techniques in the BC area, as well as Vancouver Island and the Campbell River area. I certainly hope to be able to come back to the Campbell River area and do some more Fishing. I will definitely book the trip with your company, and have already highly recommended it to several friends at work. I would love to be able to buy one or more of your Coastal Island Fishing hats to remember the trip and market your company with my friends. When we were there, Chris indicated that you did not have any available at that time. Would you please reply and let me know how often you get them in, and what they cost. Chris immediately sent us some pictures from our trip, and we also took several wonderful pictures as well. Please let me know if you would like any additional photos for your marketing brochures. Its not often you get to see your daughter reel in a 20 Lb Spring, and catch another 20 and 25 Lb Spring yourself in the same day. Not to mention, the trill of stealing my Spring back from the Seal. What a blast! Thanks for the trip this morning, Gary. My dad, my two sons, and myself thoroughly enjoyed the time and the experience today; excellent guide (Chris) and equipment. Lots of patience with nice rewards. Looking forward to the next time.
Chris, Thanks for a wonderful day of fishing! Your skills as a guide and your personal ability to communicate with your clients are the best I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. You put our family at ease, and instilled confidence in my girls and wife, which made the trip extremely memorable. We also really enjoyed the opportunity to talk to you about your family, your other job, and to learn more things about the Campbell River. From my perspective, some of life’s best opportunities and experiences are found by meeting people from other places and learning first hand about their life and the local cluture. Your personal skills, and fishing expertise are not merely good for Coastal Island Fishing, but your are also a great representative for Campbell River, and Vancouver Island. If I ever get a chance to come back, you’ll be the first person I contact when planning my trip. If you or your family ever plan on coming to the Minnesota area, please send me an e-mail and I would be glad to help provide suggestions or help arrange a trip. Better yet, have you stop bye and see us. Thanks Again. Gordon, Jen, Tessa, and Britta
Gary, Hi Gary, Thanks for arranging to have our group be guided by Chris again this year. Last year was such a wonderful experience for us and Chris played a big part in making it that way. We’re all looking forward to the trip on August 17 & 18, 2007 Gary, |
