As the Northwest winds start to settle down this week the fishing continues to thrive. With the odd kelp line rolling through being our biggest obstacle the inshore Chinook fishing has been consistent and with Coho still being caught at most points. Keeping your hooks in the water as much as possible has been key […] The post Kingfisher Report | J...

OUTLOOK  Well August is almost upon us – this summer is flying by!    We have had another great week on the water.  Saltwater fishing continues to be excellent with local coho fishing still being caught off of the South Bowen Area.   When the wind allows we have been heading across the strait for chinook retention...

Every day fishing in Haida Gwaii is a totally new adventure! We were off the dock at 7am. The wind was blowing from the northwest and the tide was ebbing. On the way out we encountered some 6-7′ waves but by the time we dropped in on the west bay of Bird Rock 1 all […] The post Kingfisher Report | July 27 2023 appeared first on Queen Charlotte Lod...

OUTLOOK Before we get into this week’s report if you are reading this on Friday we trust that you saw the fisheries notice yesterday requesting no fishing on the Capilano River today (Friday) as they opened the dam to try to get some water for the fishing in the system. It is worth noting that... The post Pacific Angler Friday Fishing Report: July...

If the 2023 fishing season will be remembered for any one particular thing it’s very likely to be the shear abundance of fish!  From the early masses of needlefish we’ve encountered inshore since May and the dense schools of herring now over the pinnacles and halibut grounds it’s no wonder there are so many salmon around!  Throughout […] The post...

Fishing has been steady the past few weeks lots of sturgeon being caught in all size ranges. We have been fishing mostly out of Mission and Harrison with a few trips out of Chilliwack. Our Fraser Canyon trips start up August 1. We are going into our prime time fishing season so if you are … Continue reading July 18th Fishing Update →

This past week the North shores of Graham Island have been blessed by weather typical of July. With light to moderate winds and a mix of sun and rain guests have experienced a true Haida Gwaii summer.

OUTLOOK  It is almost the middle of July – Wow time sure is moving fast this summer!  With tomorrow being the 15th of July we are on the edge of our seats waiting for the regulation announcements regarding southern chinook fisheries this week.  The announcements came through yesterday and the short story is regulations are...

“Fish on!” A common phrase in the QCL anglers’ vocabulary defining the past trip here at QCL. It’s halfway through the season and we’re seeing consistent action on the water. There has been plenty of opportunity to land Chinook the majority ranging in size from 9-16 pounds. Complementing the fishing we’ve seen tons of wildlife […] The post Kingfis...

These past few days of fishing have been fantastic. With fish being caught at every point by both anglers mammals and birds alike. The waters still calming down from the rough seas a week before were rife with bait as the wind and currents pushed schools of herring needlefish and clouds of krill onto our […] The post Kingfisher Report | July 10 20...

OUTLOOK  We hope everyone who hit the water on the Canada Day Long Weekend had a great time with friends and family.    The saltwater anglers had some windy conditions to contend with but the fishing continues to be excellent and it is still well worth getting out to the Bowen Island area for coho.  We...

Sometimes the fishing success of a day can boil down to the angler’s ability to capitalize on the smallest of windows. For us this was no different. Our day started on the eastside over at Cape Edenshaw. When we arrived just outside Piggie’s Bay we were fortunate enough to be met by calm seas and […] The post It’s a Guide’s Life appeared first on...

And just like that we’ve had another trip of first class fishing. While salmon fishing the past week has continued to be consistent we’ve seen success throughout our fishing grounds. Fish have been found at Green Point all the way east to Cape Edenshaw. Weather has been the primary factor when choosing a spot which […] The post Kingfisher Report |...

A spell of classic Northwesterly weather last week certainly brought sunny skies and some “busy water” down from Shag Rock but along with it came a noticeable change in our fishery. That “change for the good” was defined by greater abundance of migratory salmon in the twenty-plus class and an increase in the Tyee count […] The post Kingfisher Repo...
