The British Columbia Pacific Halibut

The halibut native to British Columbia is the Pacific Halibut.  It is a very large species of flat fish regularly weighing in at over 150lb – the record for the largest sport-caught pacific halibut is 459lb.

Being a flat fish, they spend most of their time on or near the bottom of the water and have an impressive camouflage tactic being a light colour on their under-side and dark on their upper-side to hide from both predator and prey.  Halibut native to BC eat a large variety of fish including cod, turbot, and pollock, being strong swimmers, they also sometimes leave the bottom of the ocean to feed on salmon, sand lance, and herring.

The halibut is a strong fighter making it an extremely rewarding fish to catch, here at QCL our guides are expert halibut anglers and will give you the right advice to reel in an impressive halibut.
