I grew up fishing the comox/campbell river area as a kid. I went there every summer for probably 10 years. Not only is the scenery spectacular, but the fishing was indescribable. I also lived in Alaska, and when I say that the fishing was great, I know what I'm talking about. I don't know if they're still around, but there is a resort called King Coho that had cute cabins with screened in sleeping porches, rental boats/motors, close to good horseback riding among other things. Great resort to take a family, or also good with the guys. Just bring lots of good steaks and booze because it is somewhat isolated ( part of its charm). I've probably caught 50 silvers and one big king (43lbs) in the 10 years I went there. As soon as my kids are old enough, I'll definitely go back. About an hours drive from Campbell River. Pm me if you want and I'll be glad to give you more if I can. good luck!
