Best Salmon Fishing Lodge in Haida Gwaii

There’s a good chance you’ve already noticed, but we’ve recently launched our brand new Escott Sportfishing website, which not only looks amazing but brings together all the information you need to have the best sport fishing trip possible.

Here you’ll find everything that’s offered as part of your Haida Gwaii fishing trip—from information on the salmon or halibut you’ll be reeling in, to the Grady Boats and Gamakatsu hooks we use, to all the mod cons offered at Escott Lodge.

Just as importantly, our new website gives you a preview of the experience that’s to come, including profiles on our captains—including the biggest Chinooks they’ve ever caught—as well as on our chef Mike Redinger. Plus, you’ll find our regularly updated Hog Blog, which covers every aspect of fishing you’ll ever need to know about.

Another huge feature of the revamped Escott site is the photography. Haida Gwaii is a stunning place and our fishing trips are true adventures—and it’s all been captured expertly in the photographs provided by Kyler Vos, Owen Perry, Guy Kimola, and Seann Einerssen. Special thanks goes out to them for their contribution to our new look.

Escott is proud to offer the best salmon fishing at the best salmon fishing lodge in Haida Gwaii, and now we’re proud to bring you one of the most user-friendly and informative sport fishing websites out there. Don’t forget, we’re also on Instagram at @escottsportfishing, where you’ll find more snaps of Escott-led fishing adventures.

Please take a look around, learn some salmon fishing facts, and explore the experience that awaits you at Escott Lodge.

Something Fishy: Bachelor Parties in the Great Outdoors

Make Escott Lodge your next stag destination!  

One of the more fun parts about getting married is having an excuse to get all your friends together to blow off steam before the stress of the big day.

Back in 2009, when The Hangover came out, Vegas seemed like the place to head for a bachelor party. But by the time Bridesmaids was released, only two years later, director Paul Feig said he didn’t want the cast to end up there for the bachelorette—because it was already tired.

Now, with 2016 weddings being planned, real-life wedding parties are taking a different approach to the bachelor/bachelorette party. Instead of brash and loud Las Vegas, many best men and maids of honour are taking wedding parties on more adventurous getaways, far from the beaten path. Whether escaping to a vineyard, renting a cabin in the middle of woods, or heading to a yoga retreat, pre-wedding celebrations are increasingly heading to the great outdoors.

Not surprisingly, a getaway to a sports fishing lodge also lands on the list of unique bachelor and bachelorette parties: it’s got everything you need for a special and memorable time—without all the slot machines.

Whether you’ve got a group of seasoned anglers or it’s everyone’s first time out in the boat, at Escott Sportfishing we’ll have each and every bridesmaid reeling in salmon. And as fathers and sons have known for centuries, there’s nothing like being out on the open waters to get everyone bonding.

Not only do our experienced guides take you out on the water each day of your trip, but every evening your party finds itself back in our first-class accommodations at Escott Lodge—included as part of your fishing trip package. Decked out with flat screen TVs, a pool table, a poker table, and a hot tub, our Haida Gwaii fishing lodge provides all the luxury a groom-to-be deserves before he takes the plunge. On top of it all, every meal at Escott is prepared by Executive Chef Mike Redinger, whose take on West Coast cuisine completes the experience. As does our fully stocked bar.

Taking a stagette party to beautiful Haida Gwaii is already enough to make it more memorable than most, but add in the days spent on the fishing boat with a group of your best friends and family, and it will become unforgettable.
