Chuck’s fishing background was spawned at the early age of 3. He cut his teeth in the province of Ontario, with a whitefish and a hefty lake trout with the help of his father Randy, a long time charter guide out of Georgian Bay. Chuck was a regular on his fathers charter boat by the age of 10, getting a serious head start on guiding skills for Salmon and large Trout species, which he claims is just “Fishin’ Fever”. Chuck started in the Tofino waters in 1999 as head guide of a local Resort, polishing his angling skills in and around Clayoquot Sound for numerous saltwater species, with the pursuit of offshore Chinook salmon at the top of his hit list. With a heightened knowledge of various species and techniques, Chuck is consistently one of the areas top producing guides. A few attributes in Chuck’s tackle box include a certificate in Marine Coastal Navigation and Marine Emergency Duties, as well as level one first aid. Chuck also has a passion for hunting big game, and he has been focusing time this spring on attaining certification from North Island College’s Log Scaling course.
