Conservation

At Langara Island we are blessed with the world’s most consistently abundant salmon fishing, and are actively working to ensure that this resource is maintained for generations to come.

Catch & Release

At the beginning of every trip we ask all of our guests to respect and value this magnificent resource, and to take home only the amount of fish they expect to consume. When choosing to release a fish, all guests are encouraged to practice proper catch and release techniques.

Guests can make a great contribution to the genetic strength and continued abundance of these species by choosing to release very large salmon and allowing them to return to their spawning rivers. Releasing very large halibut and lingcod is also encouraged, as these fish are almost always egg-carrying females.

In fact, for most of our guests who want to bring fish home for table fare, the larger sizes of some species may not always be the best choice.

Ongoing Research

Langara Fishing Adventures works closely with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada on numerous studies, including DNA sampling and the defining of survival rates for sport caught and released salmon.

We also provide support each season for research on cetaceans, Peregrine Falcons and other species at Langara Island.
