An Excellent Trip!
Jon & Wendy travelled from New Zealand for their August fishing adventure. Afterwards Jon wrote, 'We had an epic fishing experience this year as always. I think we caught Chinook at every key spot around the lodge. <...>

Rivers Inlet Sportsman's Club guests take their fish (wrapped in foil lining) from the lodge in an airline approved waxed box. One of these photos shows the boxes of fish still frozen arriving in Amsterdam. <...>
Soon after arrival, all guests attend the safety & fishing clinic. Our experienced guides answer any questions about the gear & equipment in the 17' Stingers. Stingers are for unguided guests & other guests either afternoons or evenings when not guided. <...>
Over the years, guests to the Rivers Inlet Sportsman's Club have arrived from places around the world. They've learned of our fishing lodge in many ways but it's often by 'word of mouth'. There's a twist to these guests because Barbara met the leader of the group on safari in S. Africa about 20 years ago. He hails from eastern USA & has been coming regularly to the Sportsman's Club since then. <...>
Barbara chose the Rivers Inlet to build her destination fishing lodge because of the BIG salmon. That was 40 years ago & the Tyees keep coming into the dock at the Sportsman's Club. <...>
Guests have caught so much halibut & salmon so they went lingcod fishing. These adventures turned out to be very successful - think about 'crispy lingcod tacos'...Yummy! <...>
EARLY JULY brought lots of halibut & salmon onto the docks. Simon's fishing clinic paid off & three guests caught a huge halibut at THE BEAN, not far from the lodge. They managed this all on their own... <...>
At last in EARLY JULY guests managed to get their photos taken with their fish. Zach's guest brought in these very nice salmon. <...>
Not only did Zach & Rory fish for salmon in LATE JUNE but went out a little further to THE BEAN. They hooked into a few halibut - (2) small ones per day, or (1) large one. <...>
The staff fishing continued during the LATE JUNE rig up. Here is a photo of head guide Zach & Assistant Manager Rory. These salmon were caught minutes from the lodge by Jackson's Hole. <...>
Gosh, it's been such a great season & we haven't let you know. It all started in JUNE when we had the maintenance & rig-up crew enjoying fishing in their spare time. The Chinook/kings/spings were exciting to catch close to the lodge at The Wall. <...>
We can’t believe that it is already December! With both Canadian & Thanksgiving behind us, we head full force into the holiday season. <...>
