Salmon Fishing Testimonials

Gayle & Lyn V., Victoria, BC

Blue Pacific, salmon fishing boat"Our open ocean fishing trip was really something to behold. No land in sight, just us and the ever moving mystery of the sea. Whales jumped close enough to see the barnacles clinging, to feel the power and of course get some awesome pictures.

Our bending lines produced halibut and salmon, bountiful enough for at least a years supply....and then back to Selah for a soothing rest after our full day of sights and sounds. I loved to sit out on our covered deck, dense wild forest all round, and feel completely at peace....ahhhhhhhh.

On our next day it was off to the wild haunting trails along the shoreline, the sound of crashing waves ever present, where envigorating, stunning sights awaited us. We found it to be an experience often sought after but seldom found.

Personal touches from our hosts added to our feeling pampered and special. Our treasured holiday, and oh yes, we will return. So, until our next excursion, thank you, Henry and Heather.

Blue Pacific - salmon fishing boat"Hank knows fish! Hank knows people! The two combined assure an unforgettable fishing adventure.

My last outing with Hank was a beautiful warm August afternoon heading 20 km off Ucuelet. Along the way looking back at Vancouver Island we were amazed by the view stretching 100 miles, north towards Brooks Peninsula, and south to Port Renfrew.

We were greeted by a pod of playful and curious porpoises who travelled with us for 20 minutes and refused to leave until we stopped so they could carefully inspect us. During this grey whales spouted with in a mile while coho salmon broke the surface all around us.

We quickly obtained our limit of halibut. Next we began fishing for salmon again limiting in coho and springs, two of the latter in the 35 lb range. We cruised in with the setting sun while Hank shared stories of life, fish and people. A perfect day.

Equally as wonderful is the bed and breakfast Selah Guest House run by Heather, Hank's wife. Relaxing and comfortable with a great location.
