What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Vancouver, British Columbia for the first time?

I didn't know it was peak season for salmon when I went, and even though we didn't catch anything, I had a great time out on the water with Roy. You can't expect to catch a bunch of fish every time you go fishing, that's not the point. I made a new friend today, and that's more important.

Jacket or light raincoat comes in handy. Know that the seals will nab a meal off your hook when around

Bring a cooler or something to put the fresh salmon in when it’s done! Bring sun screen

Go further out, to Vancouver Island, not just in the Harbour of the city. Use bait.
