About Us

Dan Rees, founder of Castaway Fishing Adventures, was first hooked on fishing as a young child fishing for Chub in the Darenth river in Shorham in the UK. One week after emigrating to Western Canada at age 10 he hooked a mud shark from the dock, then a week later, pulled in a 20 pound salmon from a canoe.

Clearly everything really was bigger in Canada! But then he discovered the Sturgeon, the Sockeye salmon, the Chinook salmon, the Coho salmon, the Chum salmon and the Pinks, swarming up the river in the millions. Amazing!
