Your hosts Brion and Jane Bailey at Chinook Lodge invite you to enjoy Chinook Salmon fishing and Halibut fishing in the Queen Charlotte Islands. The islands, known by the aboriginal name of Haida Gwaii, are located in British Columbia and are home of world-renowned fishing lodges and situated south of Alaska in Hectate Strait and Dixon Entrance. In addition to world class fishing, we invite you to enjoy the beaches, hiking, whale watching, bird watching, kayaking and the heritage and art of the Haida Nation. World class fishing and eco-tourism abounds in what is being called "Canada's Galapagos".

Your accommodations at Chinook Lodge are located in the small fishing village of Masset. They include five townhouses and your hosts will have you just as comfortable as if you had never left home - everything is right here, including a full stand-alone kitchen, freezers and full laundry facilities. And WE ARE THE ONLY ISLAND ACCOMMODATION OFFERING PRIVATE MOORAGE WITH LODGING!!

Private Moorage … You're in Chinook Country! ©
Imagine your own private moorage surrounded by the likes of the West Coast Fishing Club and Queen Charlotte Lodge (who also share space in the 40-berth private marina). Each of our two berths is 3 meters wide and 10 meters long. As a guest of Chinook Lodge you pay $200 dollars per week for private moorage in high season. (Compare this to the big fishing lodges who charge $3K to $4K per person for a 3 to 4 day turnaround cycle.) Accommodation at Chinook Lodge costs only a couple of hundred dollars per day for up to four guests for similar or BETTER ACCOMMODATION with more amenities! Our properties include all the conveniences of a fully stocked home. Sound good… well, it even gets better.

You don’t need to drag your boat in and out on a trailer at the end of each day’s fishing, and a private fuel contractor will refuel your boat while it is in the berth. That leaves ALL YOUR TIME AVAILABLE FOR FISHING and enjoying the company of your fishing buddies. Good fishing and good friends in what is arguably the best fishing location in North America!

If you are from Alberta, simply drive to Prince Rupert and take your boat over to Masset in a short two hour excursion. Or you can take your boat on BC Ferries from Prince Rupert to the Queen Charlotte Islands. Visiting friends have the option to park their vehicle in Prince Rupert and take a memorable one hour flight on a float plane over to Masset.

Book EARLY to ensure a spot!! We are proud to have almost 100% repeat business from previous seasons.

Lodging/Eco-Tourism and Fishing Charters
What brings our guests back is beachcombing along miles of sandy beaches in Naikoon Provincial Park (without fighting crowds of tourists) and crabbing for Dungeness crabs with chest waders and dip nets thoughtfully supplied in each of our properties.

A typical stay is four nights or longer with an (optional) one day of fishing for our eco-tourist clients. Our website provides great information including useful links. Ask about our off-season rates to put a smile on your face!
