With the 2016 fishing season behind us, we extend our thanks to everyone who joined us at the lodge and out on the water for a banner year. Another big thanks goes out to our staff that met and exceeded expectations all season long! With out the hard work, dedication and 24/7 friendly smiles we would not be ranked as one of the top lodges on the west coast.

We kicked off our 2016 season in May with the Reel Obsession team and guests experiencing great action early on, through late May and June. We saw guests catching their daily limits including several of the largest Chinook and Coho to be caught in the past few years.

Our largest Chinook of the year came in at 40 pounds and it was caught on September 1st by Doc Lozinsky and guided by Troy John. What a fantastic way to end the 2016 season!!

As expected, Halibut fishing was excellent this year, with numerous 50-75-pound fish on the dock at days’ end, in addition to the many large females (over the 133 cm slot size) being released throughout the season. And we had what you call a good problem, when there were times when we had to work hard to find the smaller fish needed for the possession limit. From what we saw this year, it sure looks like the size restrictions that were put in place for the last 5 years are producing steady numbers of larger fish. Just wait till next year!

Looking Forward to 2017

Although 2017 may seem far away, we know that the new year is around the corner and before we know it we’ll be back on the water. A large number of this year’s guests have already reserved their dates for next season already. The bad news is that it looks like we will be in a capacity situation and may need to turn people away again.

July 2017 is already almost full! The only spots left are for 4 people on July 1-3, a few spots left on July 7-9, and we’ve got room for 6 people July 14-16. That’s it folks! At this rate July will be booked up before Christmas, and May, June and August are not far behind.

We don’t want to disappoint, so be sure to call or email today to get reserve your 2017 dates!
