SPORT FISHING

"Sportfishing at its best"

At Quatsino Lodge we offer our clients a fully guided unique West Coast experience.The type of sport fishing you are looking for will determine the month you chose to come. In May and June we target chinook, halibut, and cod. By June we are also fishing for coho. Late June and July is much the same but the size of both the coho and the chinook increases - offering the opportunity to land lots of 40+ pounders! August includes great bucktailing possibilities, fly fishing in the rivers, and the opportunity to ocean fish in the open water or the sound for good size chinook and coho. September is our best kept secret. The northern coho are huge, large chinook are still hanging out, and the halibut ... they are big, beautiful, and bountiful. But the best part of September is the Tuna. That's right. But only on a few key dates and they are definitely a weather dependent catch. River fishing in September and October is really excellent so the fall really is a gem.

Maybe it's the climate or the colder water here on northern Vancouver Island, British Columbia, but it seems like our BC Salmon, Steelhead and Trout are filled with a special kind of energy. The kind of energy that breaks lines, bends hooks, makes your arm weary... and gives you plenty to talk about at the end of a fishing day. But, for me, that's just part of sportfishing!

In and around Quatsino Sound, we often see whales, sea otters, seals and sea lions while we are fishing. If we're after Steelhead or Trout, we'll fish rivers and lakes in country where you just might spot elk, deer, wolves, bear, cougars... or at least their tracks alongside a pool that might turn hot for you, there's always something to appreciate and enjoy. That's what makes sportfishing fun. And it's why we are always ready to go sportfishing at First Light with our guests.

We also offer kayaking only adventures but as an avid fisherman you can add kayaking to your trip and experience this spectacular activity. Stay an extra day, or book a custom trip which includes one or two days of sport fishing and one, or two days of sea kayaking combined. Some of our guests bring their whole families and some fish while others kayak. It is really up to you.

We hope you'll join us. All it takes is a phone call or e-mail to reserve your fishing dates. We'll be happy to handle all the rest for you. So check your calendar give us a call and and get ready for some great Canadian sportfishing at First Light!

I just wanted to say thanks again for the great experience you guys provided.
I’ve never had an experience fishing like we had last Thursday catching and releasing 40+ coho in a matter of hours. Just Awesome!
We had some of the salmon last night for dinner and everybody couldn’t believe how good it tasted.
I’ve been telling everybody about your lodge and what a great time we had.
