One of the biggest questions we get when guests are planning a fishing trip with us at the Rivers Inlet Sportsman’s Club is should I come in July or August & what is the difference? In a nutshell, we can have our best fishing on any given day during our brief eight-week summer season. [...]
Q - When is the best time to go salmon fishing in BC? A - The best time to go salmon fishing in BC is the summer. At the Rivers Inlet Sportsman’s Club, we make it easy for our guests to time their trip to maximize fishing opportunities. We do this by only operating during July & August when the various salmon runs in our area are at their peak. [...]
Rivers Inlet Salmon Hatchery History Almost forty years ago, the Lodge owners in our area decided that we needed to take things into our own hands & enhance the salmon runs in our area using our own initiative. We formed an association of lodges on the central B.C. coast with the sole purpose of using our own resources to start a private hatchery program to raise these giant Chinook/King salmon [...]
After our recent trip into the lodge to do repairs & maintenance, we are more excited than ever for getting the lodge back up & running in summer 2022. My wife Stephanie & I left our home in Pemberton & booked a ferry to Vancouver Island. The first stop was lodge owner (my Mother) Barbara’s house in Victoria for a long overdue visit. We left with some real treasures in the form of a couple of boxes of old photo albums from some of our 38 years of operation. Look for some of those flashback images coming soon! [...]
This month’s give-away competition is for the best family fishing story. Win a $100 value RISC micro fleece hoodie. Simon has one and that is his go-to item for fishing, skiing pretty much anytime he needs a layer that is not too thick. [...]
School’s out and with graduation/prom, Canada Day/July 1st and Independence Day/July 4th behind us, now it really is officially summer! The weather certainly cooperated, maybe too much, with record setting temperatures in British Columbia these past few weeks. We hit an all-time high of 49.6 C/121.8 F in Lytton BC last week & it might have gone higher, but the entire town burned down the next day and the weather station was gone. [...]
Family Fishing Adventure So great Dad and I got to spend quality time together & we sure caught lots of fish. Every summer my dad and I went on a fishing trip to a salmon fishing lodge in British Columbia, Canada, and it was the highlight of my year. We actually didn’t go on any other fishing trips at all except this one to Canada every July. Dad was busy and travelled [...]
Long time father and son guests Scottye & Si with a hard fighting wide-eyed chum salmon with classic green colouring & tiger strip markings. The Rivers Inlet Sportsman’s Club, on the rugged and remote central coast of British Columbia, has always had a special place in my mind as a mythical trophy salmon destination. [...]

We just returned from a quick two-day trip into our all-inclusive salmon fishing lodge in British Columbia located in Rivers Inlet on the BC Central Coast. We did to a “recon mission” to see how things are holding up at the fishing lodge after sitting idle for 22 months in the harsh BC coastal rainforest marine environment. [...]
