As BC fishing lodges go, Minette Bay Lodge is exceptional. Considered by some to be the most traditional and comfortable fishing lodge in BC, Minette provides a range of fishing experiences for novices and professionals alike. The fishing lodge itself is located near BC’s Douglas Channel, amidst green lawns with well-tended plants and trees. The lodge offers all the comforts to which a traditional fisherman would be accustomed: a library with many fine old volumes for the perusal of guests; a sitting room with chintz sofas and French windows; an interior decorated with the finest hand-crafted antiques; verandas overlooking the sea. The fishing lodge is constructed of BC fir, hand-joined for a beautiful, old-style look. The building features nine spacious guest rooms. Meals are prepared on-premises at the Minette Bay Fishing Lodge, from fresh BC ingredients. Hearty breakfasts fortify guests for their daytime fishing trips. Picnic lunches accompany guests on their daily excursions, to be eaten while the fishing lines are still in the water. Dinner is served back inside the lodge in the evenings, along with fine spirits for the weary sportsman. After the meal is done, guests frequently congregate around a roaring fire in the fishing lodge’s hearth, to discuss the day’s angling. Minette Bay Fishing Lodge specializes in heli-fishing excursions into BC’s remote backwaters. There, far from civilization, BC’s fish thrive and multiply, as though in anticipation of your arrival. The fishing lodge provides BC fishing licenses to its guests, along with rods and reels (though guests are, of course, free to bring their own equipment, if they choose). To prevent overfishing, the lodge permits only catch-and-release fishing. Minette Bay Lodge also leads river driftboat fishing trips, bear viewing hikes, and birdwatching excursions. Heli-hiking and heli-sightseeing tours are also available. All excursions from the fishing lodge are accompanied by a guide with intimate knowledge of BC’s mountain rivers. You’ll have the benefit of years of BC fishing experience, all without ever having to open a book, and without having trek through the woods for months or years on end to gain the necessary knowledge firsthand. The fishing lodge puts fisherman in close proximity to BC’s wide variety of wild fish. Species commonly caught by guests include Chinook, Steelhead, Coho, Trout, Chum, Sockeye, and Pinks. Minette Bay’s guides have intimate knowledge of the proper techniques for landing these beautiesâ€"guests need only ask, and they will be shown what to do.
