Nootka Wilderness Lodge is located on the West Coast of Vancouver Island, this remarkable area on the unspoiled coast is also known as “the salmon highway” and is touted as one of British Columbia’s premier sportfishing destinations for targeting Chinook (King) and Coho (Silver) Salmon. Starting in June and right thru until September, salmon start their migration down Vancouver Islands coast and we are situated in the perfect spot to intercept these astonishing fish on their journey south.
Large amounts of schooling baitfish during the summer months and the plentiful array of reef structure offshore makes Nootka Sound a hotspot for bottom fishing enthusiasts. Healthy populations of Halibut, Ling Cod and an impressive spread of Rock Fish are all found just offshore of Nootka Island this time of year as well.
