Here is a nice Tyee release from earlier this season up Knight Inlet! We're sorry for the lack of activity during this bizarre season, but we will be catching you up with all of the exciting moments we had over the past months soon. We of course had to close our doors to our US based guests this year, but were able to take a few of our locals out fishing this season, providing some joy and normalcy in these times. For all of those who were both able to visit us and not, we appreciate you and your support more than you can know. We will see you on the dock soon.

Who wants to go Spring fishing in Knight inlet this July?! The past couple of years have been amazingly productive with very strong Chinook runs in late spring/early summer, with high numbers and big weights. We also were discluded from non-retention regulations brought down on the south coast this year, given our avoidance of endangered stocks, and expect/hope for the same in 2021! Here are a couple of pictures from one day this July, during our test fishing. The other g...reat thing about fishing in Knight Inlet is: You're usually the only boat in sight. Dates still available for early July 2021!

WE ARE OPENING TO BC BASED GUESTS THIS SEASON!!! Unfortunately we have had to cancel all of our US guests' trips this year, creating a lot of opportunities in a once full schedule. We have decided to remain open to BC residents and really just want to take you fishing!!! Most openings are in late July through August.... Please email [email protected] or call 250 339 4783 for information and dates. Discount rates may apply!

For our guide and operator friends.

A far more productive method to protect early Fraser stocks at risk, allowing communities to stay alive, and for angler DNA sampling to resume at the time of year it is needed most.

Check out our February newsletter!

Before and after.

A few swimmers for you to remember that feeling...

We have unfortunately had an email issue that has been present for several weeks without us knowing, and some inquiries/forms have bounced. Please resend all questions to [email protected] (if you did not receive a reply) until we can have the problem dealt with. Our apologies.

Looking for halibut? We have those too! Sometimes we even get them right off the dock! Our largest dock releases are a 2 way tie for around 260 lbs based on measurements. If you would like to try your hand at a much tastier, and more sustainable halibut around the 10-65 lb range, we will do our best to get a few on the deck for you. You might also get the chance to release a monster! Ask about our more bottom fish focused trips running late June to mid July, and again in e...arly September. Plenty of other species are around at this time as well. . . . . #halibut #halibutfishing #halibutfishingbc #bottomfishing #jiggingfishing #jigging #coastalsprings #coastalspringsfloatlodge #buttfishing #salmonfishing #fishing #fishinglodge #fishingbc #utahfishing #salmon See more

A snowy and blowy few days here, but we will set out for some winter chinook after the wind dies down.

We are excited for all the new things 2020 will bring for our lodge and our fishery. Take care, and send us an email for availability in 2020! [email protected]

Karen and Cam with a 36lb chinook released this summer. This was a fun one and he swam off like a champ.

To all of our Salt Lake City guests and fans!!! Come join us in March at the International Sportsmen's Expo - March 19-22, 2020. Come down and say hi, book a trip, or just talk about fishing. See you there!!!
