Seasons
The fishing season at Haida Gwaii Sportfishing kicks off in April, with the arrival of salmon and the opportunity to target halibut and lingcod. This spring period, running through June, is characterized by improving weather and consistent action for these primary species. As summer progresses into July and August, the fishing intensifies. This is prime time for salmon, with peak runs offering the best chances for trophy Chinook and Coho. Concurrently, the Albacore tuna begin their migration, providing exhilarating offshore action from August through October. This late summer and early fall window is particularly special for anglers seeking high-speed chases in the open ocean. The lodge operates from April through September for salmon, halibut, and lingcod, extending into October for Albacore tuna. The peak season for most species aligns with the warmer months, from May through September, offering the best combination of fishing opportunities and favorable weather conditions.
Open April – October
