Looking to experience some incredible angling action in one of British Columbia’s most remote and beautiful locations? Make sure a Haida Gwaii Salmon fishing adventure is at the top of your list! 
 
Along with the mighty Chinook, you’ll also find Pink, Coho, Chum, and Sockeye species inhabiting the waters that surround this archipelago, which is also known as the Queen Charlotte Islands. Chinook weighing over 30 pounds are known locally as “Tyee,” and it’s common for them to reach at least 60 pounds here. It’s the perfect spot to travel to if you’re a keen sportfisher, or want to bring home a huge meal. Even better, it’s possible to chase a variety of Salmon species in a single day trip to these islands – the most efficient way to do this is by joining an experienced charter captain who knows the hotspots.
 
If you want to fish like a local BC angler, give “mooching” a try. This technique will see you drifting live or dead bait beneath your vessel, and will really get your heart pounding as you watch and wait for the fish to bite!
 
If one day of exploring this stunning location doesn’t seem like nearly long enough, you’ll be pleased to know that BC is famed for its incredible fishing lodges – and Haida Gwaii is no different. You’ll find a variety of all-inclusive lodges spread throughout these islands, with the most popular spots being Langara Island, Masset, and Queen Charlotte.
 
Thanks to the availability of ferries, seaplanes, and commercial planes that travel here from BC’s mainland, embarking on the biggest and best Salmon chase of your life doesn’t have to remain a dream – head to Haida Gwaii and make it a reality.
