Ocean Fishing

Guests come to Naden Lodge for a multitude of reasons but THE FISHING is the common denominator. Our home, on Haida Gwaii's north coast, is in the middle of the salmon's migratory route, on the way to their natal streams. Whether they are headed to the major river systems of B.C. or the coast of the United States, i.e.: The Skeena River, Fraser River, Columbia River or to the multitude of salmon streams on the west coast of Vancouver Island or the B.C. mainland, these fish must first pass the Queen Charlotte Islands. Literally millions of salmon swim past our doorstep. They include the Chinook (King), the tackle-busting Giants of the Pacific. The weights of these mighty fish can reach a 100 pounds as many are found on the banks of the spawning rivers, that spawned out weigh over 100 pounds. The largest Chinook taken in our waters was a monstrous 82 pounds that was landed in August of 2000. The next most sought after game fish is the spirited Coho (Silver), which can be very acrobatic, when caught on the fly, can reach weights to 25 pounds. There are also Chums (Dogs), Pinks (Humpies) and Sockeye (Reds). The bottom fishing is consistent with Halibut, Ling Cod and many species of Rock Cod. Our salmon fishing season runs from May 15th to September 15th with consistent salmon fishing during those months.

FISH ON !!!!!!

CUT YOUR LINES!!!!!!

Just minutes from the dock is the first fishing local, across Masset Inlet to the Eagles Nest. Heading north out of the inlet, the Pacific Ocean opens up to a vast area of time proven fishing hot spots. The Green Can, Hidden Island, Wiah Point, Cape Edenshaw and Bird Rock and Shag Rock to name a few. Our very experienced guides know the historical migrations, when and where to be. Every day out on the water, from May to Sept, you have a chance at a 50 plus pounder. What other fishery can state that!

We go where the fish are!
