Walters Cove Resort
Vancouver Island, BC
About This Lodge
Our fishing resort is located in an area of coastal wilderness that seems to have defied the passage of time. Kyuquot Sound (pronounced ‘kai-you-cut’), consists of hundreds of islands, inlets, vast stretches of uninhabited coastline and a diverse population of wildlife. Surrounding the area are mist-covered peaks that make you think that you have travelled back to the beginning of time.
Framed within this pristine natural splendor is Walters Cove Resort, an internationally renowned sport fishing destination, known for its incomparable hospitality, luxurious setting, and high intensity fishing. Walters Cove is a remote destination, only accessible by boat or seaplane. Every year, guests come from all corners of the globe to fish and take in this coastal paradise.
At Walters Cove Resort, our guides are expert fishermen with a wealth of local knowledge and experience. Their insight into these waters comes from family traditions that have been passed down for millennia. This knowledge extends to bottom fishing for halibut, lingcod and rockfish, as well as trolling for salmon.
What Makes It Unique
- Not your everyday fishing trip. We are owned by theKa:'yu:'k't'h'/Che:k'tles7et'h' First Nations and provide an element of local culture to your experience including our signature traditional Salmon BBQ.
