Just got back from a fishing trip with Salmon Seekers in Campbell River, and honestly, it was beyond my expectations. My dad and I booked a full-day trip with Keith and Diane, and it turned out to be one of those experiences you will remember forever.

James M.

Amazing fishing experience captain Keith Thomas! Always one of our years highlights. Been fishing with Salmon Seekers many times and we always find great fishing spots and fish when others are not having luck.

Don D.

Keith and Diane are the nicest people ,good fun to be around , very knowledgeable about fishing and the area and they really put our group on the fish. First class guides without doubt. I highly recommend Salmon Seekers Fishing.

Jonathan G.

My 6 yr old grandson and I went out fishing with Keith and Diane. We had so much fun and caught two types of salmon. The boat was very spacious, and I did not get sea sick like I normally do (no gas smell from the motor). The views were breathtaking and I definitely plan to go again when back in Cambell River.

Linda

I’ve fished with Salmon Seekers two years in a row now, and I can’t wait to come back for a third! Keith does an exceptional job, not just in finding the fish (as the name promises!), but also sharing his deep knowledge of the area.

James C.

Excellent guided trip with Keith and his wife Diane, the snacks were great, the company even better and all the fishing experience you could ask for! Highly recommended!

Had an amazing day with Keith and Diane. The combined fishing/whale watching tour did not disappoint! The variety of sea life we saw combined with the salmon caught made it the perfect day out on the water!
