If you like your saltwater fishing fast and furious but prefer the water calm and protected, this is the best Canadian fishing lodge you can possibly choose. In mid-July the lodge opens in the sheltered waters of Louisa Cove off the rugged BC coast near Bella Bella. The lodge starts the season in Whale Channel, then when the fish leave the channel, it relocates at Milbanke to better intercept the salmon migration.

Framed by old growth forest, patrolled by eagles and graced by killer whales, the tranquil waters of Milbanke Sound are packed with massive kings and silvers right through to early September. With the prime spots located only 3 minutes from the fishing lodge, you'll be up to your elbows in arm-yarding salmon fishing action in no time at all.

Here your time is your own. Stay close to home or travel farther out a special bottom fish area where you'll snag some hefty halibut, lingcod or red snapper. Fish as much and as long as you want. Or as little. If you'd prefer a relaxing massage, our on-call therapist can iron out those muscles before you can say, "That last one was bigger than my mother-in-law.'

This is truly the best fishing on the BC coast. Not to mention the most effortless. Because the lodge only moves in when the salmon run is at its peak, you're guaranteed an unsurpassed saltwater fishing experience combined with a level of comfort and service unmatched by other Canadian fishing lodges. Looking for heart-pounding excitement without any waves pounding your boat? The Lodge at Milbanke Sound is the best place to enjoy both.
