Sooke River, South Vancouver Island, British Columbia

The Sooke River is a small stream flowing south from Sooke Lake into the ocean at Sooke Basin.

The river crosses Highway 14 approximately 30km southwest of Victoria.

Fishable length of the Sooke River is 5km, with good paved access from the road to Sooke Potholes Provincial Park, along the east side of the river.

Fishing pressure is moderate, but the numbers of steelhead are expected to increase due to regular hatchery releases. The Sooke River supports cutthroat trout and fall runs of chinook and coho salmon. Flyfishing for chum salmon is excellent in the estuary and lower reaches of the river.
