Hotels for fishing holidays in British Columbia, Canada

In Canada’s southwest, British Columbia’s home to dramatic coastline, forested parks, sprawling cities and Olympic-worthy ski slopes. Its capital city Victoria is at the southern end of parkland-covered Vancouver Island, a favourite destination for outdoor enthusiasts and surfers. In nearby port-town metropolis Vancouver – only a seaplane ride away –visit historic Gastown, market-laden Granville Island, the Museum of Anthropology and the sweeping green space of Stanley Park. Just north of the city, there’s the 70m-high Capilano Suspension Bridge and Grouse Mountain where, depending on the season, you can ski, snowboard, hike, or just take the Skyride gondola to the top for panoramic views out to sea. Ski resort Whistler is one of the largest in North America: the 2010 Winter Olympics host has plenty of summer activities, too, delighting mountain bikers, hikers and whitewater rafters.
