COASTAL FISHING

Haida Gwaii, a Unique B.C. Fishing Experience

Expect isolation — you might not see another fisherman for days

Isolation. Beautiful scenery. Access to diverse runs of salmon, including coho and chinook salmon, at the start of their passage down the West Coast, and an unrivalled variety of bottom fish. These are the defining characteristic of a fishing experience on Haida Gwaii, one of B.C.’s most interesting coastal destinations. The small islands of the Haida Gwaii are ecologically distinct from the mainland of British Columbia, having evolved separately over millennia. There is more wildlife than people, and more natural fishing opportunities than almost anywhere else.

This is a unique part of the province well worth the trip. Remote, fly-in lodges offer easy access, with trips all-inclusive from Vancouver. Guiding services can be readily found in Queen Charlotte City and Masset.
