A fine jewel nestled on the pristine Canadian Inside Passage. Rough-cut from native stone and timber, and polished with passion and the belief that every guest should feel like a welcome old friend. Our family has created a unique and extraordinary wilderness retreat featuring superb fishing, world-class dining and a wonderful personally catered atmosphere for a few fortunate souls seeking to get away for adventure or relaxation. Come and be our guest.

The lodge is truly a family love affair. Their unique personal touches and dedication to exceptional personal service have made their lodge a truly distinctive destination and what B.C. Sport fishing Magazine calls, "One of the finest fishing lodges on the entire British Columbia coast." This feeling of pride and purpose is instilled in the staff as well. They want you to fall in love with the excitement and natural beauty of this amazing land, as they have, and truly have the experience of a lifetime.

Our chefs are some of the finest on the West Coast. We select true artists who work hard to create a culinary experience not to be forgotten. Many move into their own restaurants after a few seasons at the lodge. Many are also world travelers themselves that can blend exciting international flavors into their cuisine.

Our guides have over a hundred years combined experience on the waters of the inside passage. They don't just catch fish, they make fishing fun for the experienced and novice alike.

Your days are filled with adventure and discovery as you explore, sample and savor the splendor of the Canadian outdoors. Evenings are filled with fine food, friends and conversation.

Let us be your personal guides for a once in a lifetime fishing experience. Or maybe a kayak journey of discovery, or get up-close to whales, Orcas, otters, and eagles. Or take the bikes into town and explore the area on your own. Hike along the pristine north shore trails of Malcolm Island. Or take a boat journey and explore abandoned Native villages. Plans are flexible. The only things guaranteed are the cherished memories.

Fishing -- the noblest of pursuits. All of our staff of professional and personable guides have spent decades chasing salmon and are passionate about teaching you how to catch them. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned veteran angler, we will assure that you have the experience of a lifetime. We provide all equipment and licenses.

The lodge is located in a prime location on the Inside Passage of Vancouver Island where Pacific salmon are abundant. We fish for all 5 species of salmon, all within minutes from the dock. The calm, protected waters of Blackfish Sound offer one of the most abundant fishing areas on the British Columbia coast. After battling a Chinook salmon in the 20-45 pound class, we can limit out on 12-17 pound Coho or beautifully fighting Chum, Sockeye, and Pink salmon.

All your fish are cleaned, vacuum packed and flash frozen. When you leave the lodge you take memories and special souvenirs for you and your friends back home.

Experience the tranquil waters of the Northwest Passage up close in one of our single or two-passenger sea kayaks. Glide silently through deep blue waters. Explore marshland and small inlets, encountering eagles, seals, sea birds. Set your own pace for exercise or adventure. For an unforgettable adventure take a half-day paddle with the whales lead by a local guide.

Fishing The Canadian Inside Passage - The intimate 40 acre setting on Malcolm Island in Northern British Columbia is perfect for getting away with family, friends or business associates. A maximum of 20 guests means a pampering of personal service that cannot be matched by large resorts. Your stay is customized to your wishes. Fish to your heart's content, explore in a sea kayak, bike into town, or nap in a hammock. Experience warmth, attention and service that will make you feel both at home and transported to a magical place.  

The calm and tranquil waters that front the lodge are afforded by the protection of the northern tip of Vancouver Island. Rolling mountains provide shelter from the winds of the untamed Pacific Ocean not many miles away.

To the east the awe-inspiring snow covered peaks of British Colombia's Coastal Mountain Range rise above the forest covered foothills. Wildlife abounds here; splashing salmon, Bald Eagles, porpoises, seals, otters, Orcas, Humpback Whales and too many sea birds to name. On land you will see black bear, deer and mink. Breathe deeply. All the senses are filled and the soul revitalized.
Nothing can prepare you for the wonder of the northern wilderness. In this land where wildlife is abundant, the calm silence of nature is intoxicating. The physical beauty of the Blackfish Sound area surrounding Malcolm Island is phenomenal. As you travel the calm waters of the Inside Passage of the Pacific Ocean, you can expect to see the breathtaking sights of huge Orca whales, inspiring Bald eagles, quick and agile porpoises, and the occasional seal. But don't expect to see many people because this part of God's creation is untouched by man. Enjoy the view from your boat, stroll along the beach, or take a relaxing paddle in one of our sea kayaks. Leave footprints, take pictures and keep cherished memories.  

Testimonial:

"You really can't appreciate this lodge until you experience someone else's idea of first-class service and amenities. Without a doubt you and your staff operate the premier fishing resort anywhere on the Northwest Coast of Vancouver Island."  

- Barbara and Homer, Florida  

Your room at the lodge is a comfortable and well-appointed cabin with overstuffed log chairs and thick down comforters. Paintings by Pacific Northwest artist Robert Field, a Sointula native, adorn the walls, along with woodcarvings and paintings by other native artists from Alert Bay. There are 10 guest cabins, each with a private bath and shower. Most cabins have queen beds. Some have tubs. You will find cozy comfort, charming decor and a comfortable bed.

Because of our prime location on the Inside Passage, we catch migrating Chinook, Coho, Chum, Sockeye, and Pink Salmon all summer. The months of April and June are spent in the nearby Inlets chasing Chinook salmon. From mid June until mid September we fish the Inside Passage of Blackfish Sound for all 5 species of salmon. And the month of September is also spent viewing Grizzly bears in the local inlet habitat.
