instructor program

For those of you who are planning a British Columbia sport fishing adventure, you won't find a better way to experience fishing at one of West Coast Resorts lodges than by taking advantage of our Instructor Program.

This unique program is available, at no cost, at all our saltwater fishing locations. When you arrive at any of our saltwater fishing lodges, you'll be immediately introduced to your Instructor for the trip. He'll take you, your fishing partnerto your boats where you will be briefed on the area, fishing techniques, boat and water safety, and water etiquette. Two of you will fish with the Instructor right away and for the remainder of your trip to Walters Cove Lodge, our fully instructed fishing lodge,

For the full days remaining in your trip your Instructor will spend up to 10 hours per day in your boat continuing the hands-on-approach to teaching you more fishing skills. Most fishermen want to "do it on their own" and our Instructors understand this. They will assist you in running the boat, cutting bait, selecting proper trolling speed and depth, and most importantly, they'll instruct you on how to hook and play your trophy.

Our Instructors take pride in stepping back from the fishing action and allowing the guest to learn in a hands-on manner. West Coast Resorts hand picks our Instructors to ensure you are on the water with a real fishing expert and not just a boat driver. This presents a truly unique opportunity for all our guests to become proficient at local fishing techniques.

Dining

One thing we are all sure about at West Coast Resorts is that our anglers have a good appetite and appreciate delicious cuisine. We think it must be the great outdoors and hours of playing mighty fish, or maybe it's the delicious creations crafted by our chefs, that keep our guests coming back for more. Whatever motivates your palate, we aim to please.

Hot Tub

After a great day of fishing, take some time to relax in the hot tub.

Telephone

After that great day out on the water, we appreciate that you will need to brag to all your family, friends and coworkers; therefore, telephone access is available at each lodge to keep you connected with those at home and at work.
