Great June Adventures at QCL

The most exhilarating fishing in Canada happens on the remote islands of Haida Gwaii in the Pacific Northwest.  The fishing season here runs through the summer months from late May thru early September.  Each month of the season has its fans.  The early season, running through most of June, is always an exciting time to visit.  A June fishing adventure in Haida Gwaii offers a truly unique experience in a magnificent part of the world.

You’re surrounded by an amazing range of abundant wilderness and wildlife.  It’s a particularly good time to see whales, especially Humpbacks feeding on needlefish.  We also tend to see more Orcas moving around the fishing grounds in the first half of the summer.  The opportunity to see these incredible marine mammals in the wilderness of Haida Gwaii is an unforgettable experience.

This is fishing Disneyland and National Geographic all wrapped in to one. Mind blown. You should go.

Queen Charlotte Lodge is your gateway to adventure and it begins before your arrival.  Our fishing packages include return airfare from Vancouver on our chartered 737.  Once you land at the Masset airport, you will board a Sikorsky executive helicopter for an unbelievable ride to our beautiful lodge in Naden Harbour.  And the fun is just getting started!

When Is The Best Time to Book My Salmon Fishing Trip?

Queen Charlotte Lodge enjoys the perfect setting and location to access the finest and most consistent fishing in the world. Vast numbers of Coho and Chinook (King) Salmon feed along our shorelines every day of the season and we’re proud to offer a 2 trips per week during our 100-day season.  This means that any trip, anytime, can be the best time for salmon, halibut or lingcod fishing!  We enjoy some of the most consistent fishing on the whole West Coast – there’s really no high season and low season.

Our fishing program is designed to take full advantage of all the great fishing opportunities available in Haida Gwaii.  The fishing grounds at QCL are located at the gateway to the North Pacific – ideal to intercept salmon returning to their spawning streams and rivers up and down the coast. This locale provides some of the most consistently exciting fishing to be found anywhere!  The underwater structure of the area provides exceptional habitat for tasty ground fish, particularly halibut and lingcod.  Early season anglers know that this is one of the best times to target these species.  In fact, large halibut often move inshore to gorge themselves on baitfish around the shoreline kelp beds in June, providing quite a surprise to trolling salmon anglers!
