My husband and I recently returned from the most amazing experience at an oceanside accommodation offering the most unforgettable fishing. From start to finish, everything about this trip was top-notch.
The accommodation is a brand new, 2 bedroom, oceanfront cabin. The cabin is well-equipped with all the amenities needed for a relaxing stay. Waking to the sounds of the waves and looking out to the ocean was pure bliss. Located just outside the quaint little town of Powell River, British Columbia, this place is a safe haven, protected by Vancouver Island. The ocean appears more like a lake, than the Pacific.
We are avid salt water anglers, and our host and guide, Paul from Hunt, Fish Maniac, was exceptional. His extensive knowledge of the local waters along with his genuine passion for fishing made each day wonderful. We caught our limit of each fish we targeted, and whether you’re a novice or experienced angler, Paul makes certain you’re enjoying your outing and catching fish. The fishing spots were nothing short of spectacular. We were taken to some prime locations where the fish were plentiful. The excitement of reeling in big catches, coupled with the breathtaking surroundings made for an unforgettable adventure. Powell River has exceptional trapping for spot prawns. Although they appear more like a shrimp, they taste like lobster, and we limited out on those too. Paul took time to show us some of the local wildlife, and although we can’t promise the same experience, we saw sea lions, Orca whales, and Humpback whales during our trip. The bald eagles were plentiful too.
Back at the cabin, there’s nothing like cooking up some of your fresh catch. Paul also made arrangements for a private chef to come into the cabin and cook dinners for us. After a day on the water, sometimes it’s really nice to come home and know you can rest and relax with your favorite cocktail while a professional chef prepares an amazing meal.
The combination of luxurious oceanside living and thrilling fishing adventures made this trip perfect. Hospitality and attention to detail were evident throughout our entire trip. Powell River is accessible by air, or if you prefer, drive on in utilizing the ferries. BCferries.com provided a flexible schedule and the scenery, as we traveled up to Powell River, was beautiful.
We highly recommend Paul, and Hunt, Fish Maniac, to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway with the added excitement of a fantastic fishing trip. It’s an experience that blends comfort, adventure and natural beauty perfectly.

Super well organized Heli fishing tour for catch and release Coho Salmon. We hooked into 30+ fish at 4 separate spots with some of the most incredible views I’ve ever seen. Paul’s gear was top notch and OV helicopters runs a super spec operation. Safety is paramount and @heliben5 is an excellent pilot with 20+ years of flying. Flying into remote locations only accessible by Helicopter or days of hiking. It was an experience that I’ll never forget. Pauls 6 year old son was a gem to watch play some 8-14lb fish that were absolutely epic fresh chrome coho. The scenery on the fly in and out on different flight paths was breathtaking. You wouldn’t think that playing with some fish and sandbar hopping for 6+hrs would tire you out, but I had the best sleep ever that night. Thanks @ Huntfishmaniac.com

Paul is a top notch guide, fisherman and a great person in general. We were on fish all day and into the evening. Paul has a great attitude and was an excellent instructor to my new to fishing friend, catching his first ever salmon. I would recommend his service to anyone who wants to catch fish and have fun doing it.
Do yourself a favor and go with the Hunt Fish Maniac when you visit Powell River.

I have been alot of places and done alot of fishing but this was by far the most epic trip I have done. Catching 30 pound springs on the ocean one day and catching spawning coho in the middle of nowhere by helicopter the next day. Both Paul and Benny have tested almost every river to make sure he takes you to the best spots possible. It's pretty cool to just jump in a chopper and fly over a mountain to try the next fishing hole! If there is one thing you do before you hang up the hip waders for good is get yourself on this helicopter and go fish where almost no one has ever been! I can't say enough about how great this fishing trip is!

What a great trip with Hunt Fish Maniac. My Girlfriend was a little nervous being her first time out on the ocean. Paul made it a very fun and enjoyable time for the both of us. We caught a ton of salmon, jigged for some ling cod, seen a few whales and topped it off with an beautiful sunset. WHAT A DAY!! Thanks Paul!

Had the trip of my life out there with Paul and his crew. I lived in Kitimat BC and never even fish like we caught with them. I learned a ton and am looking forward to go back there soon and doing it again with Huntfish maniac!

Couldn't have asked for a better fishing trip and more experienced guide. The fishing was excellent, Paul got my brother and I onto some amazing salmon and Ling. This is a must go to location and fishing trip you must go on if you want to have an enjoyable time and great company and load of knowledge. The town is friendly and outgoing. Paul is a guide you want to have, and I am sure you would want to make this an yearly trip.

Paul took us out last minute to get a few prawns and while we were out we were lucky enough to see 4 orcas and play with a friendly octopus! Great boat and conversation! Highly recommend Hunt Fish Maniac if you’re in the area!! Great for all ages.
