Vancouver Island Lodge

4 days/5 nights at Vancouver Island Lodge in summer of 2019. We were 3 couples with guys fishing and girls spending their days enjoying the scenery and many nearby tourist attractions. Our fishing was excellent due to the efforts of Ryan and Kyle. We limited out on Pink ( average 5 lbs) and Spring salmon (16 to 24 lbs) on 2 different days and caught a couple of halibut on another day. One halibut was over 50 lbs and 124 cm in length. On several days we spotted Humpback and Killer whales. One day the Killer whales surfaced near the boat, Ryan immediately shut down and we spent 30 minutes watching the whales surface on all 4 sides of the boat. Ryan's boats are as good as any - very large, wide and the set-up allows you to be inside out of the weather if needed. The Lodge is great with a huge kitchen, a comfy sitting area, large outdoor deck on 2nd floor that overlooks the cove, nice grass area and very well built docks with a modern cleaning station. Another building has full cleaning facilities, vac packing, large freezers, ice and approved airline containers for packing fish. Our wives really enjoyed the relaxing days with the beautiful scenery that the Lodge offers. The hiking trails also were a favorite with them. The Lodge and grounds are immaculate, rooms are very clean and modern. Ryan's pricing is very competitive. Highly recommend Vancouver Island Lodge for a fishing trip or just a place to relax and enjoy the Island. We will be returning next year. Thanks Ryan!! Read less

Did some late season fishing and it was amazing. Knowledgeable Guide, Great gear. Excellent results. We came out from Victoria and the location of the lodge was super convenient. Can't wait to go again !!!

Ryan and Kyle are excellent, and so is the fishing. I've been to several fishing lodges and would put this one at the top of my list. Top notch. Thanks Ryan for an excellent time, see you again next year!

Loved its quiet and open concept - Beautiful view from morning to night

Beautiful lodge, GREAT guides, wonderful fishing... can't say enough good about this place. Owner, Ryan, is a wonderful host. Hope I get to come back,!
