The West Coast Fishing Club offers a prime salmon and halibut fishing experience from May through September, with each month bringing its own unique advantages. May and June are excellent for targeting larger Chinook salmon, often referred to as 'tyee,' as they begin their migration. The waters around Langara Island are particularly productive during this time, offering short runs to the fishing grounds and access to all types of salmon, including the prized Chinook and the aerial acrobat Coho. As summer progresses into July and August, the salmon runs intensify, with Coho, Pink, and Chum salmon becoming increasingly active. This period is also prime for Halibut fishing, with the lodge's location near the continental shelf providing access to monster Halibut. September often brings a strong finish to the season, with continued excellent fishing for Chinook and Coho, and the added benefit of fewer crowds as the season winds down.
