Fishing can be a great hobby and an excellent way to spend your time. However, as you get better at it you'll realize that catching those pint size fishes can get boring especially if you've ever gotten a big catch. One of the most popular fishes sought out when fishing is the salmon.

salmon are among the most well-liked fish that fishing aficionados look for because of their size and their flavor as well. One of the places that has made its name for such fishing is British Columbia, Canada. They don't just have any regular type of salmon here; if you fish here you're sure to be reeling in trophy salmon.

There are five different types of Pacific salmon king/ chinook, pink/humback, red/sockeye, silver/coho and chum. Pink are the smallest of all five and chum is the least sought after. If you are looking for a big catch then you've probably got your heart set on either king salmon or silver salmon which can go.

With salmon making their way back to their spawning places at about the same time each year, it's all about timing. Coming at the right time increases your chances of getting a trophy salmon. Come to British Columbia during the months of late June to mid September to get the best catch possible.

To make sure that all aquatic life remains protected British Columbia has its own set or fishing regulations for you to follow. On top of the list for fishing regulations in British Columbia is knowing the fishing limit. Each type of fish has a different limit, depending on the fishing location.

Like any other fishing district British Columbia has its own set of rules and regulations for you to follow if you're going to be fishing there. This ensures that all marine life remain protected. The first thing that you will need to know is the fishing limit for each type of fish. Different areas have different limits for specific fish varieties.

If you want to keep the salmon that you catch (which I'm sure you will) then don't forget to get a salmon conservation stamp as well. This will allow you to keep the salmon that you catch, though there is a limit. It is usually four for non tidal areas.

Packaging the salmon which you catch is part of the regulations if you aren't transporting your fish whole. Check with the lodge or resort that you will be staying with for this kind of services. Most will provide you with vacuum sealing or similar packing methods.
