The Top 10 Best Fishing Lodges in BC

See our top picks below

Updated January 30, 2022

Canada’s British Columbia (BC) is world-renowned for freshwater and saltwater fishing. Salmon fishing in BC is productive all year round. Fly-fishing the many rivers and lakes for steelhead, salmon and trout. Bottom-fishing for halibut, rockfish and lingcod. Reeling in gigantic dinosaurs in the form of 14+ foot White Sturgeon in the Fraser River. BC fishing is legendary.

From rustic floating fishing lodges to luxury sportfishing resorts, there is an incredible selection of fishing lodges in BC. With so many options for catching salmon in BC (or halibut, rainbow trout, steelhead, cutthroat trout or any of the numerous species available), we poured through our directory of BC fishing lodges and compiled a list of the top 10 best fishing lodges in BC by analyzing:

  • uniqueness
  • customer ratings
  • quality of food, accommodations, boats and gear
  • value for the money
  • reputation
