Welcome Back!

Karly Barker is a fishing guide based in Haida Gwaii, British Columbia, where she spends her seasons on some of the most remote and productive waters in the Pacific Northwest. Known for her deep local knowledge and calm, no-nonsense guiding style, Karly specializes in salmon and halibut fishing around the islands’ rugged coastlines, tidal channels, and offshore grounds.

Raised around the ocean and immersed in the coastal lifestyle, she built her guiding career on a mix of practical seamanship, respect for the water, and an instinct for reading fish in constantly changing conditions. Clients who fish with her often highlight her ability to put them on fish consistently while also teaching them the “why” behind what’s happening on the water.

When she’s not running charters, Karly is focused on conservation-minded fishing practices and sharing the unique ecology of Haida Gwaii’s waters. Her approach blends adventure, education, and a strong connection to one of the most wild and storied fisheries in the world.
