Summer Season
We fish the Inside Passage in the waters of Johnstone Strait and Queen Charlotte Strait. The runs of mature salmon, heading to their rivers on the mainland of British Columbia or on Vancouver Island, must pass through here. This is an excellent spot for catching Tyee, as well as Coho, Pink, and Chum. Bottom catches are also good, with some of our largest Halibut caught right off our float (our record is 185 lbs.). Ling Cod are jigged in nearby Blackfish Sound.
Grizzly Bear Lodge And Safari 2011 News Report: 2011 year has been one of the best for grizzly bear tours and whale watching. We averaged six grizzly bears per visit plus a mother grizzly with two cubs who were daily visitors. A heavy rain pushed the salmon up stream earlier this year drawing the bears to the river below our viewing stands. We had a record year for viewing orca (killer whales), humpback and dolphins. There were a few days when we saw more than 3 different pods of orca meeting and playing in the Johnstone Strait. We are looking forward to more renovations this winter and a early start to the 2012 season. Check out the new photos from 2011 of grizzly bear tours, and whale watching tours and other local wildlife we see on our wildlife tours.
