Canada BC, salmon fishing resorts, any recommendations?

[Hilltop123]

Now that Canada has lifted its vaccine mandate, it's time to start planning a trip north. My wife and I, have done Port Hardy and was looking for something a little more remote, this time. Somewhere that has just as good bottom fishing as salmon fishing. Anyone have any recommendations?

I cant speak to the bottom fishing but Bamfield on Barkley Sound is pretty remote.  It is remote enough that the wife doesn't want to go back due to lack of amenities.

Campbell River is a family favorite of ours.

Did you stay at the Barkley Sound Lodge?

There is a church run fishing camp on Copper Island in Barkley sound.  Private boat access only, so pretty remote.  You missed it for this year but it isn't too early to book for next year.

Any reason for Canada over Alaska, eh?

Gold River can have some good fishing and it's remote. Don't know if they have any lodging? Our relative's from Cambell River go over there when the fishing gets slow. I think they still require you to use the online program "Arrive Canada" before you go into Canada. We just got back, and it was a trip from hell with all the covid regulations.

Nope, that would work as well. Just didn't think to add it.

I did Langara Fishing lodge (Canada) when i was 12 and had a blast. The resort is nice and there is a helicopter ride which is fun also. Little pricey but it still remains as one of my favorite fishing trips.

Or LaPush or Neah Bay.......Canada seems to be more expensive than WA State......tourist prices?

This is a Top Shelf trip - starting at $4,700 per person
I have fished with Langara a hand full of times. Staff, food, fishing were all top notch

My impression is Canada has much more lax retention rules and more liberal bag limits.  Last i was there it was 4 kings and 6 or 8 coho for a 3 day trip, no worry about fins, and far far fewer people. Hali is typically open as well as other bottom fish.  I dont think our US ports offer that kind of opportunity.
