Services
Wade has had a passion for fishing his entire life. Growing up in Port Hardy, he's spent over 25 years fishing in and around Port Hardy. Wade knows where the fish go and how to catch them. This level of knowledge can only be gained from spending tireless hours on the water searching for new spots and testing different gear.

Whether you are here to hike magnificent Cape Scott Provincial Park or are partaking in the world class charter fishing with our Wicked Salmon Charters located on Vancouver Island, BC, Bear Cove Cottages offers immaculate cottage accommodations in a pristine wilderness setting.
This great package includes 3 nights in a luxury cottage, 2 days of activities unique to the North Island and FULL access to our Rain Coast Bath Houses & Sauna! This is a "must do!" on the North Island. A 5-hour whale watching tour and lunch with Mackay Whale Watching in Port McNeill. The tour aboard their state-of-the-art boat can highlight large expanses of our vast neighbouring waterways.
At Wicked Salmon Sports Fishing Charters, our location offers an abundance of arm numbing halibut, rock fish and bucket head Ling Cod. On any given day when Halibut fishing out of Port Hardy you will have a chance at hooking into one of the oceans biggest and toughest fish. These Halibut (otherwise known as "barn doors") make for a lot of fun as you work to raise these amazing Halibut from the depths.

Recently stayed here over the Thanksgiving long weekend, particularly in Cabin #7. While the location and view was great, this cabin needs a deep clean. The warming drawer under the oven was full of dried out food, the oven was dirty inside as well. Shower still had hair from the last person stuck to the sides, as well as the filter in the jetted tub was extremely dirty. The jacuzzi tub looked like it hadn’t been properly cleaned or sanitized in some time. Perhaps this was just a one off as I see others reviewing that their place was clean.

This place was a real hidden gem. A wonderful view of the ocean, and a clean and well kept living space. The owners were very helpful and quick to respond. The cottage was gorgeous and smelt like cedar. Would highly recommend.

As a base for a fishing trip it's probably awesome. As a place to spend the night with family it's ok.

I have been to Port Hardy a few times on fishing trips and it was first time this year with Bear Cove and Wicked Salmon. Easily the best of the bunch. It is the entire package that delivers on the full experience, boatful of fish, clean comfortable cottages, great local food, very knowledgeable, experienced guides that are super fun that kept us… on par to bring the fish in including two double headers where we landed both fish!!! Not kidding. Ask me for the video of one of the fish jumping out the water on top of the other line and the calm voice of Wade talking us off the ledge and getting

My buddy kyle and I do a yearly king salmon fishing trip and we travel to different rivers and ocean fishing areaS to explore and tackle the great King salmon. My buddy found this place and did some research on the area. This place was awesome! The owner Wade was a great guy and took good care of us! He shared valuable intel of the area and we fished and had great success in the local area. We ate at the local restaurants and really enjoyed our experience at Bear cove cottages. I highly recommend this place. The cottages we quaint and clean! They had a great view of the water. The parking was great

Beautiful cabins to stay in with a great view of the bay. Good service from the very friendly staff, and fishing is offered, but I did not partake. Heard great things about it. Definitely worth a visit!

Wade and Shannon made our return to Vancouver Island a huge success and wonderful experience. The cabins are beautiful and clean. The view is fantastic. After spending more than two months surviving solo while shooting Alone Season Two for History, it was great to see the island from a less brutal perspective. Wade had our backs as the rescue boat captain. His skill on the water is only matched by his skill as a host.

Loved these small one room cottages with small kitchen and half fridge. Great place for the family and awesome view. Right beside the bear cove marina to launch your boat as well.

Immaculate Views, Comfy and very clean Cabins with services that is not only very accommodating to a family and dog, but friendly and respectful. My wife fell in love with views of the water and watching the 20+ eagles that decided to put on an amazing aerial show. Where I had a blast with the incredibly informative guide, Wade Daley. Will definitely be returning for another trip!
