WHY HAKAI PASS?

     Hakai Pass produces trophy salmon in great numbers.  In fact, the simplest way to explain Salmon Fishing in HAKAI is to say it is the finest in the world.

     Our first year at Hakai (1974) was long before the fishing world recognized it as the finest Trophy Salmon area on the North Coast. The area has now become well known throughout the world and is the undisputed “Hot Spot.”  With a long steady season covering the entire summer, your trip can be planned around your schedule.  The giant Chinook Salmon, 20-80 pounds, run throughout the season, while the feisty Northern Coho, up to 24 pounds, are at their peak during August and September.

     Fishing for halibut, red snapper, sea bass and rock fish is so easy we hardly mention it-it is just taken for granted.

     Besides the fantastic fishing, the pass is one of the most beautiful places on earth.  There are 50 miles of sugar white beaches, driftwood piled as high as the trees, and hundreds of unexplored, uninhabited islands.  Whales and porpoises abound.

     These beaches and islands are alive with bald eagles, mink, deer, otter and shell fish of all varieties.  It’s a photographer’s delight with the wildlife, crystal clear air, beautiful sunsets and weather that changes several times a day. Hakai Pass is now a beautiful remote wilderness area were fishing is now just as it was in the “good old days.” 

WHY HAKAI LODGE?

     Hakai Lodge is a rustic hideaway floating in the heart of the world’s most famous trophy salmon fishing area.  It is an old fashioned, professionally run, destination fishing resort.  The Lodge is well established and has been in continuous operation at Hakai with the same owner/operators for thirty-eight years.  For couples, family vacations, corporate entertainment, meetings or seminars, Hakai Lodge is truly “The Ultimate Getaway.”

YOUR CATCH

STAFF

     Naturally we are proud of all the great things at Hakai Lodge.  The consistent fishing for 38 years, the beautiful scenery, the mild weather, the great facilities and transportation system, but the highlight of the whole experience is our STAFF, which includes fish master, chef and baker (white uniforms and all), waitresses, maids and boat boys.  They are professional, courteous, friendly and a delight to be around.  A STAFF of this great quality makes the difference between an average experience and the “Trip of a Lifetime.”
