Hakai Pass Rivers Inlet View previous map
The Central Coast area of British Columbia consists of the
area of coastline from Milbanke Sound to Cape Caution. Located
just north of Queen Charlotte Sound, this area has a historical
reputation for being one of the best Chinook Salmon fisheries
in the world.
Discovered as a primarily a haven for the commercial fishery
due to the large salmon found in this area, it was not until
the 1970's that this area gained a reputation for producing
some of the largest sport caught Chinook salmon found anywhere
in the Pacific Ocean. Popularity grew quickly, as famous persons
such as actor John Wayne frequently visited the area to experience
the exceptional fishing.
Today, the fishing is still considered to be exceptional
in both Rivers Inlet and Hakai Pass. Trophy sized salmon are
still caught each year off these waters in good numbers, making
this area a virtual "hot spot", for anglers looking to catch
trophy sized Chinook Salmon.
The central coast area is further blessed by some of the
most panoramic scenery on the whole of the coast. Thousands
of tiny island, channels, inlets and fiords make the area
literally breathtaking.
Visitors to both Hakai Pass and Rivers Inlet have luxury
of staying at well established comfortable lodges, while enjoying
great salmon, halibut, and cod fisheries at their doorstep.
