Coastal Island Fishing Adventures
Campbell River, British Columbia
Vancouver Island, Canada
-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!
I grew up fishing during my summers visiting my Grandmother here in Campbell River. I decided to move to the area to pursue my passion for the fishing and all the ocean and area had to offer. I have professionally guided for 11 years in the Campbell River area. As well I spent 2 years guiding in the Queen Charlotte Islands. I have spent many hours on the water alongside Gary and Chris, exploring and fishing all this area has to offer. Join me in our fully equipped 23.5 foot Robalo for a fishing experience you won't soon forget.
Our commitment since day one is to provide you with an exciting and enjoyable, yet a
memorable and relaxing experience. We look forward to having you aboard!
Tight Lines & Good Fishing!

Gary,
Just a short note to say thank you to both you and Chris (our guide for the day) for a fantastic day's fishing for Chinook salmon off Campbell River. The day started with flat calm water and the sun rising over the mainland mountains as we put the prawn traps out. The salmon fishing could not have been better - I think the combination of an excellent guide and top notch gear didn't give the fish much of a chance! It turned out to be one of those days where we could not get the second rod down before a spring had hit the first. A day I will remember. We limited on our prawns as well - they were delicious. I will see you later this summer.
Best regards, Grevin Williams
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

My brother and I had the opportunity to fish with Gary last August. We had an excellent experience! Gary is very knowledgeable and personable and provided us with everything from clothing to lunches. We felt safe and comfortable in his well equipped boat. We caught our limit of fish, also! What a memorable day! Fantastic!
