Overview

A gem of a find, nestled in its forested shorefront estate beneath the coastal mountains of northwest Canada, Minette Bay Lodge is easy to get to and one of those rare, deliciously comfortable, hard to find havens that specializes in exclusive fly fishing, luxury, and eco-adventures.

Expert and novice alike come to the lodge to have fun and enjoy the incredible catch and release helicopter, jet boat, and river float fly fishing for bright, silver Steelhead, Cutthroat, and all five feisty species of Pacific Salmon.

After a sumptuous home-baked breakfast, take off from the lodge's lawns and fly through some of the world's most spectacular mountain scenery to hundreds of miles of completely untouched coastal rivers. Guests have these pristine waters utterly to themselves, all the way from the icy blue glaciers and ice fields, through ancient forests, to the estuaries and fjords of the sheltered Douglas Channel. Fish your very own rivers all day from your private helicopter, or jet boat for fresh silver-bright fish alongside wolves, eagles, grizzly bears, and helpful, willing and personable guides, and at the end of a memorable day, fly back to the comfort of the lodge via natural hot springs for a superb, gourmet dinner, good wines, and fireside fellowship.

As well, heli-hike the wide alpine meadows with their spectacular views and enjoy a gourmet mountaintop picnic, or join in a world-class jet boat grizzly bear viewing trip; Kayak tidal waters among otters, seals, and migrating Canadian Geese or ocean fish for giant halibut; Enjoy a bird watching adventure, horseback ride, golf, or simply relas and put your feet up and watch the eagles and ospreys over the bay from the lodge's sheltered verandahs.

Your fishing trip to Minette Bay Lodge will leave you with unforgettable memories and spoil you with the luxury and adventure you deserve. Your English hosts can't wait to spoil you!
