FISH
The west coast of Haida Gwaii sits approximately 100 nautical miles off of the BC coast, the first point of land that fish get to visit to feed on their return home of their life cycle. The way the cold water currents hug the shore of the west coast creates nutrient rich waters that makes this a primo fishing destination.

Angling Tips & Tricks
Keep Your Tip Up
You may hear this over and over again from your guide. Basically your fishing rod acts like a shock absorber for the line. This takes a lot of the weight and power of the fish. At the same time it allows you to play the fish to the boat to tire it out quickly. With a good quality rod you can use lighter tackle which will result in more fish because fish can see everything!
“Fishing is in my blood. I love the challenge of the chase and am humbled to be at the mercy of the elements and all the things that we can’t control…the weather, the fish behaviour, the currents. The art of fishing is in how we have to adapt to the environment and all mother nature throws our way.”
