The deep blue water, fishing grounds
brimming with bountiful salmons, a waterfront lodge in the scenic village of
Masset, cosy accommodations and a 5 star dining experience guarantees this to
be the best fishing vacation that there is in Queen Charlotte Islands, which
itself is considered as one of the best places in the world to fish.
In fact, the Queen Charlotte archipelago
offers the best Chinook Salmon (or King Salmon) and Northern Coho Salmon
(Silver) fishing grounds in the world. This area is considered the starting
line for salmon migrating southwards between May to October. During this
period, salmons are at their healthiest after feeding on the spawning Herring
as they prepare their bodies to be strong enough to endure their long journey
down the British Columbia coastline towards the rivers. You can find scores of
salmons feeding on Herrings just five minutes from the lodge.

So, if you are planning a trip, this is the
best period to catch yourself a Tyee, the 30lb+ Chinook Salmon. However, our
offshore halibut and bottom fishing grounds stay strong throughout the year.
These waters are known to have salmons up to 90 pounds. Also available in this
parts are pinks, chum and sockeye, but nothing compares the thrill of catching
a large salmon.
Escott Sportfishing’s fishing grounds and
land based waterfront lodge are ideally located to intercept migrating salmon
on their way down the British Columbia coastline. With over 25 years of
experience in Saltwater Fishing, Escott Sportfishing has assembled a big fleet
of big and steady Grady White boats, which are the best boats for fishing.
Needless to say, we are passionate about
fishing. Our experienced guides have a very high success rate when angling for
halibut and bottom fish. "We know where the big ones are!" Our
biggest catch is a massive 73 pounds Tyee.
At Escott Sportfishing, we offer a service
on a personal level, based on each customer’s specific needs and likings. Right
