Late Spring Produces The Best Fishing For Salmon, Halibut And Cod In The Queen Charlotte Islands

Haida Gwaii, until recently known as Queen Charlotte Islands

, is a band of islands off the northern coast of British Columbia. The name means "Islands of the People" according to the Haida who lay claim to the archipelago as their ancestral land, but to the devoted angler it means some of the most spectacular halibut, salmon and cod fishing in the area. B.C. salmon fishing lodges are known for their hospitality, knowledgeable staff, and access to deep-sea charters that show anglers what prize-winning catches truly mean.

Right now and for the next month or so is the best time of year to haul in impressive amounts of game fish, including red snapper, King salmon, ling cod and halibut. Due to the nutritious waters of the area, it is a favored route of these species, as they make their journey to and from their spawning grounds. Naturally, different breeds of fish feed in different areas on a regular basis, so the fisherman who wants to drop his line in the most profitable waters will avail himself of a salmon fishing guide and charter boat. B.C. salmon fishing is a specialty among island families, many of whom are members of the staff at some of the nicest salmon fishing lodges. Using one of their charters will include, not only expert advice and extensive experience, but a cooler full of deliciously prepared food and beverages for lunch.

When you return to your comfortable lodge at the end of the day, you'll be met with warmth, fun and a great evening meal, not to mention the supreme boasting rights you will have earned with your day's catch. And for those people in your group who opt not to fish, there are many other points of interest to occupy their time and thoughts. A hike through the lush wooded areas could show you glimpses of the abundant wildlife, as this is the time of year when bear cubs and fawns make their first appearance. Bald eagles are frequently spotted, along with an infinite variety of other avian species. Whale watchers are almost always rewarded with sightings, as are those looking for industrious beavers and playful otters.

Other folks in the group might enjoy one or two rounds of golf on one of several well-planned and beautifully manicured golf courses. For people who lean toward less strenuous pursuits, art galleries and day spas beckon, and anyone with even a small curiosity about local history will head for nearby Ninstints to examine the amazing collection of native totem poles.

In short, once visitors have discovered the never-ending attractions of Haida Gwaii and its surrounding waters, springtime is certain to call them back every single year.
