BRITISH COLUMBIA’S SALMON SUPERHIGHWAY
World-Class Fishing Grounds.
Epic Angling Adventures.
Kyuquot is one of the best fishing grounds in British Columbia. The village is located minutes away from fishing for salmon, halibut, sea bass and cod. Kyuquot is prolific with both chinook and coho salmon.
We specialize in two types of fishing holidays:
Why Kyuquot is a Kayak Fishing Paradise
June kicks off peak kayak fishing season in Kyuquot Sound as salmon flood into the calm, protected waters. Inside reefs provide ideal habitat for salmon, halibut, cod, and sea bass, making every outing productive. Mid-summer brings in large spring salmon and bottom fish, while late summer is prime time for high-action coho fishing right on the surface.
Paddle or cruise in comfort with our stable Vibe kayaks, equipped with Bixby electric motors—perfect for exploring the rich fishing grounds around Kyuquot’s scenic islands.
Located near the continental shelf’s closest point to Vancouver Island, Kyuquot sits on what marine biologists call the “Super Salmon Highway.” Massive schools of migrating fish are drawn to the nutrient-rich shallows and bait-filled reefs just minutes from the village.
Ready to cast your line? The fish are biting, and we’ll help you plan the kayak fishing trip of a lifetime.

Fishing License Info.
Anglers will need to purchase a BC Tidal Waters Sport Fishing Licence for salt water online from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) website.
Here are some helpful tips for fishing licences:
You will be fishing in Area 126/26.
The website will ask you if you want a salmon conservation stamp. Select yes.
You need to print out all the licence pages and keep the paper document with you when fishing to record your daily catch on your licence.
You also need to keep your licence on hand when transporting your fish home from the lodge.
The receipt does not serve as a license. Make sure you have a printed copy of the licence with you.
