About Murphy Sportfishing...

Murphy Sportfishing has been guiding anglers on the wild west coast of Vancouver Island for over 30 years. Founded by David and Marilyn Murphy — a brother and sister team who are anglers first — Murphy's has built its reputation on one principle: put clients on fish every day, and compromise nothing doing it.

From the remote ocean waters of Kyuquot Sound on the Super Salmon Highway, to the legendary Stamp River salmon and steelhead runs near Port Alberni, to the early season Chinook and Halibut grounds off Ucluelet, Murphy Sportfishing operates three distinct Vancouver Island locations across four seasons. No other operator on Vancouver Island offers this breadth of experience under one family-owned roof.

Why Anglers Choose Murphy's — And Keep Coming Back

Every trip is fully guided by professional, Transport Canada certified guides with deep knowledge of Vancouver Island's most productive fishing grounds. Murphy's guides do not simply take you fishing — they coach you, read the water, and adapt tactics daily to put you in the best possible position for success.

Murphy Sportfishing pro staffs for some of the finest tackle manufacturers on the BC coast, contributing to product development and refinement for decades. The boats, motors, and equipment are top of the line — because David and Marilyn fish these waters themselves and know exactly what the job demands.

The result is a loyal guest base that returns year after year. Many of Murphy's guests have been coming back for a decade or more, bringing their children and in some cases their grandchildren to the same waters.
