This private and secluded floating fishing lodge has been family owned and operated for more than 30 years. It is located just north of Vancouver Island in a prime location on the major salmon migration routes on the north end of the Inside Passage of British Columbia. This is a special place – the salmon fishing here in BC is world-class, and there is excellent halibut fishing just minutes from the lodge.
The Broughton Archipelago is a cluster of islands, channels, inlets, fjords, and bays between the British Columbia mainland and the northeastern side of Vancouver Island. It is world famous for its scenery, wildlife, and exceptional fishing, both in saltwater and freshwater. This floating lodge is located in a sheltered cove on the south shore of Baker Island, just a short floatplane flight from Port Hardy. It is a family-run lodge with a strong history of exceptional customer service and tremendous fishing.
The lodge is in a prime location to intercept the millions of migrating Pacific salmon that travel through the bottleneck of British Columbia’s Inside Passage as they head to their spawning rivers. Halibut, snapper, and lingcod are also caught close to the lodge throughout the season. You will have the option to fish the area’s secluded rivers for trout and coho salmon too. This truly is bucket list fishing on the BC coast! Every species is here and easily accessible from the rustic floating lodge.
This area of the British Columbia coast is a remarkable and spectacular wild marine environment. It is in the southern confines of the Great Bear Rainforest and framed by the rugged Coastal Mountains of British Columbia to the east and Vancouver Island to the west. Vertical rock walls plunge into the ocean, and tall mountains tower over the inlets and fjords that are surrounded by rich forests of cedar and fir.
The region surrounding the lodge is a mecca for marine animals, birds, and wildlife. It’s not uncommon to see whales, bald eagles, and other wildlife right from the lodge, and certainly while you are out fishing. This area of BC is world-famous for whale watching and bear viewing.
The lodge hosts a maximum of 4 guests at a time or up to 6 guests for family groups. This allows your hosts to focus on giving you the best possible fishing experience and personalized service at the lodge and on the water. This is a small-group coastal fishing adventure at its finest and an experience that is nothing short of amazing! You should come here!

All 5 species of Pacific salmon are found here at various times of the year, but anglers from all over the world come here mostly for Chinook and Coho salmon, as well as halibut. Chinooks, also known as Spring or King salmon, are highly sought after as they are the largest of the Pacific salmon, with fish over 30 pounds known as Tyee.
Although Chinook Salmon are present here year-round, the bigger fish show up consistently when their spawning migration starts in June, which peaks in August, then tapers off by mid-September.
Every year Chinook Salmon in the 30-50 pound class are caught in the area, especially in August. Trolling is the method of choice for Chinooks, but mooching and jigging are also great ways to catch these big fish.
Coho salmon, also known as Silvers, will be part of the catch by mid-July, and they will continue to be caught until the end of September.
Silver salmon are beautiful, they are very hard fighters, and the Coho here reach 8-10 pounds or more. Silver salmon are caught by trolling, but casting spoons, big streamers, spin baits, or jigs into the shallow weed lines and kelp is so much fun when the Coho are passing through and staging near their home rivers.
Anglers really appreciate how consistent the salmon fishing has remained here in the Broughton Archipelago.
If salmon is not enough, this area of the BC coast is also home to some excellent halibut fishing - some halibut spots are within just a few minutes from the lodge. The largest halibut caught from the lodge topped out at 200 pounds! Large Pacific lingcod and snapper are also caught regularly in the area, and they are some of the tastiest fish you will catch in these clean northern waters.
The lodge has one 21 Grady-White cruiser and two 19´ open Boston Whaler boats. Each boat is fully equipped with GPS, downriggers, safety gear, depth sounders, and quiet 4-stroke trolling motors.

The Broughton Archipelago and the waters surrounding northern Vancouver Island are home to many marine mammals, such as Orcas or Killer Whales, seals, dolphins, porpoises, as well as Humpback Whales, Minke Whales, and Grey Whales. Keep your eyes on the shore, too, as black bears and grizzly bears are often spotted foraging for food among the tidal pools or grazing along the shoreline at low tide.
So, whether you are fly fishing for salmon or trout in a secluded Canadian river, lake, or stream, fishing for trophy salmon in the protected ocean waters of the surrounding islands, sightseeing, or going whale watching or bird watching, the lodge’s staff are dedicated and have 30+ years of experience which ensures that you will have a truly enjoyable and successful stay.
