The morning mist clung to the water as our boat cut through the glassy surface of Rivers Inlet. The air was thick with the scent of salt and pine, and the promise of big fish hung in the crisp northern breeze. My guest, Mark was a first-time salmon angler, gripped his rod with eager anticipation. "Today’s the day," I said, steering us toward Smiley Bay, a known hot spot for massive Chinook salmon. "This is where legends are made." Mark grinned, adjusting his hat. "Just tell me what to do." <...>

Our Sportsman's Club team is very keen to get the season started & the lodge is being towed from winter moorage to Sportsman's Bay this week. Once everything is in place, we'll be ready to welcome our first guests of the season. <...>

Now for a bit of history which some of you are aware of having fished at the Sportsman's Club for over 40 years. More than ever recently we are receiving requests for information from guests who came to fish with us as youngsters with parents &/or grandparents. <...>

It's mid May & we are preparing for the Sportsman's Club fishing season - our 42nd... Thank you so much for contacting Cathy, Simon, Stephanie, Barbara & crew about fishing with us in 2025 or 2026. <...>

Spring is in the air here in BC & the sun is finally out after a cold blast of Arctic air has finally retreated. We are getting ready to head up to the lodge with the A-Team work party this week to do some float maintenance & other repairs. <...>

After 42 years of the Kelly family running our remote fly-in fishing lodge, we are more excited than ever for the upcoming summer! <...>
