About Us
About us
The Vancouver Sport Fishing Guides Association (VSFGA) was formed in 1992 to bring together local professional charter operators and guides committed to providing world class guest experiences through support of a vibrant public recreational fishery in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Through partnership and collaboration with organizations such as SFI (Sport Fishing Institute), SFAB (Sport Fishing Advisory Board), PFA (Public Fishery Alliance), PSF (Pacific Salmon Foundation), and DFO (Department of Fisheries & Oceans), the VSFGA is committed to providing an ongoing voice for the Vancouver recreational fishery. The public recreational fishery represents a lifestyle and is part of our heritage on the west coast. A strong recreational fishery not only contributes to substantial economic benefits throughout the economy, but it also ensures that necessary funding and countless volunteer hours continue to be directed toward enhancement and conservation activities within the province of British Columbia.
