Fishing Report Summer 2023
The 2023 season is over & what an amazing one it was. Overall, we had fine, sunny weather & incredible fishing with some record catches right from our season’s start in late June until our close at the beginning of September. <...>
July 2023 Fishing Update
July fishing for salmon & halibut as well as lingcod has exceeded our expectations. Double headers on coho/silvers, along with more Chinook/kings than we've see in a long time filled almost everyone's dreams of an awesome fishing adventure at the Sportsman's Club. Not to be outdone by the salmon catches, halibut of all sizes were caught from Cranston Point to the Bean & Safety Cove. [...]
2023 What’s happening – Late June & Early July
What's happening? Well, the 2023 season started with all the guests enjoying great fishing close to the lodge at the Wall, Dome & Dowling Point. The catches of Chinook/kings exceeded our expectations & delighted our guests. <...>

On Father's Day, June 18, we'll be celebrating all the 'father figures' - fathers, grandfathers, sons, uncles, nephews, associates, teachers, & mentors who have helped all of us along the way. [...]

For the Kelly family, we are excited to report that Shayna, Simon’s daughter, is graduating from Ryerson University in Toronto. Many of our past guests will remember her at the Sportsman’s Club as a golden haired toddler who loved to fish. [...]
