Looking to plan your next great fishing trip? Well, look no further! Located on the scenic northern tip of Graham Island, Escott Sportfishing provides a true fishing experience unlike any other that can be found. Haida Gwaii, also popularly referred to as Queen Charlotte Island, is home to an assortment of saltwater fish, beautiful views, and top of the line accommodations for all.

The serene, blue waters are home to two excellent types of fish, Salmon and Halibut. Our waters are teeming with the best Chinook and Coho salmon, which makes our property so well known and highly sought after for fishing excursions. The deep blue waters offer some of the healthiest, strongest salmons (30-90 pounds) that can be easily found while feeding on Herrings within minutes from the lodge. Due to our great location, it’s easy to catch large amounts of salmon migrating up stream, heading to the British Columbia coastline.

And what an excellent location it is. In fact, the Queen Charlotte Islands are well known for such natural beauty and a great emphasis on First Nations culture. Everywhere you look, you can find signs of the land’s rich history, from totem poles to ancient carvings. It’s no wonder this area attracts visitors from all parts of the world, year-round.

No matter your interests or thrill level, there is always something for you to do. Whale watching, hiking, biking, and trail walking (just to name a few activities) are some of the many excursions and activities that are available for you to enjoy and really take in the nature. While you’re out exploring, make sure you take in all this land has to offer and visit many of the other towns scattered across the island. Each town offers something unique and exhilarating to make your trip special and truly exciting.

Escott Sportfishing offers top-notch accommodations for all guests. Cozy, scenic rooms that overlook the water, and 5 star dining services guarantee a simply amazing and comfortable experience for you. This lodge is spacious, making sure everyone is accommodated without feeling as if everyone is right on top of each other. The grounds offer an outdoor fire area, hot tub, and each room comes with its own private bathroom. The amenities, décor, and beautiful scenery help to create a feeling of community where many people share their fishing tales and trip experiences. It’s definitely something you won’t want to miss.


There really aren’t any words to accurately capture the essence that is Haida Gwaii and all she has to offer. This land is rich with culture, life, and a good time to be had by all. So when looking for your next fishing excursion and nature trip, look no further than Escott Sportfishing.
