Your ultimate fly-in fishing location is Canada’s Haida Gwaii. You can fly to a natural paradise on the edge of the world where you will experience an unbelievable fishing adventure. The islands of Haida Gwaii sit on the edge of the continental shelf and are the most phenomenal place in Canada to visit. You will be filled with wonder when you touch down into a world of expansive temperate rainforests, lots of wildlife, and plentiful fishing opportunities. You will have the chance to catch the fish of a lifetime in a landscape like no other!
The Charlottes have been on my bucket list for many years, as has experiencing a first class fishing lodge. Queen Charlotte Lodge has to be one of the most iconic soft-adventure experiences in North America, and perhaps even the world.

Queen Charlotte Lodge is your gateway to adventure and the adventure begins before your arrival. Our fishing packages include return airfare from Vancouver on our very own QCL chartered jet! Once you land at the Masset airport, you will board a helicopter for an unbelievable ride to our beautiful lodge in Naden Harbour. Half the fun is just getting here!
Haida Gwaii may seem like a far off destination, but it is actually only a two-hour flight from Vancouver and then a short helicopter ride to our lodge. Your escape from the routine of every day has never been closer. Before you know it you’ll be out on the water battling a massive Chinook Salmon!
A typical day of guided fishing is eleven hours on the water (with breaks on the fishing grounds on the MV Driftwood) however, you and your guide can create a schedule that works best for you! Our guides are experienced, professional, carefully selected and trained and will provide you with an opportunity to kick back and enjoy the comfort and success that they can bring on the productive waters of the Haida Gwaii.
Queen Charlotte Lodge also provides self-guided fishing. If you prefer the freedom of fishing on your own, your modern boat comes with a new GPS / depth sounder unit, high-quality Islander reels, and a detailed area and fishing techniques map. Moreover, the QCL Fishmaster is always on the water to ensure that you are fishing safely and successfully.
We have over 30 guides on the water who are all happy to assist you with any fishing tips, questions, or encouraging words! Our self-guided guests are always looked after and you will not feel ignored or alone! Whichever style you choose, we can promise an unforgettable Haida Gwaii Fishing trip experience at Queen Charlotte Lodge.
Queen Charlotte Lodge is a leader in providing a robust and memorable fishing experience. Many of our guests continue to return year after year because there is nothing quite like the QCL experience.
Whether you are a seasoned angler or a first-time fisher – we can accommodate all skill levels and love to share what we know. Fly-in to the Haida Gwaii for a fishing trip that will not only be a great adventure but a memory that you can cherish.
What Paul and his crew have put together in such a remote place is nothing short of AMAZING! Other than an upbeat staff that makes you feel like family, the perfectly appointed lodge, terrific food and world class fishing, I don’t know why anyone would bother with this place. Let’s just keep this one secret!
