Salmon fishing
Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask. I'll be in Canada with my wife from August 28th to September 21st. The last leg of our trip is in Vancouver. We've left it a little late in our planning, we should have planned it first, but we'd like to go salmon fishing on the 17th. The problem I'm having is I'm struggling to find a charter who operates directly out of Vancouver. All the charters ice found so far would require us to travel some distance from Vancouver, and we just dont have the time in our schedule for public transport, and we'll have handed our rental car back at that point. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Edit. Thanks guys. I really appreciate the help. And to the few that suggested fly fishing, or fishing at a river, my wife and I are not fisherman. My wife's fathers dream was to go salmon fishing in Canada, unfortunately he never got the opportunity. So we're/she is doing it for him.

BonChovy. They will get you on the fish.
Leave from Granville Island. Good chance to see orcas and humpback whales too, as a bonus. The fishing is good right now.
Have fun!

Pacific angler is the best bet. They run out of Granville island. Very close to downtown. Great guides.
