Rivers Inlet, nestled within British Columbia’s Great Bear Rainforest, offers anglers a premier saltwater fishing experience in remote, uncrowded waters. This iconic destination is celebrated for its trophy-sized Chinook salmon, with specimens regularly exceeding 60 pounds and occasional giants surpassing 80 pounds. The nutrient-rich fjord also teems with hard-fighting Coho salmon, halibut, and lingcod, providing diverse angling opportunities against a backdrop of glacial mountains and vibrant wildlife like humpback whales and bears.
Fishing hotspots such as Kilbella Bay, The Slide, and Whale Rock deliver consistent action minutes from lodges, while responsible possession limits ensure sustainable fishing. As a fly-in-only sanctuary with no road access, Rivers Inlet combines world-class salmon fisheries with breathtaking wilderness—making it an unforgettable destination where anglers chase the fish of a lifetime in pristine Canadian waters.
