5-day/4-night salmon fishing adventure for two people in famous 
Rivers Inlet, British Columbia, Canada.  This is the home of the 
largest king salmon for 2007 at 77.5 pounds.  Black Gold Lodge at 
Rivers Inlet is the premiere sport fishing destination along British 
Columbia's rugged Pacific coast.  Rivers Inlet is an area known for 
its enormous chinook salmon - powerful sea-run Tyee - not to mention 
abundant coho, pink and other varieties.  No wonder trophy hunters 
from around the world specifically target these waters.  Salmon 
fishing is outstanding, but there's also excellent open-ocean 
fishing for ling cod, snapper and bard-door halibut weighing over 
150 pounds.  When you're not on the water, relax in comfortable, 
well furnished cabins and enjoy great service from the experienced 
staff.

Accomodations are housekeeping, with full kitchens. You can bring 
your food from home or we will supply you with a phone number to a 
grocery store in Port Hardy that will take your credit card order 
and deliver it to the airport in time for your flight. We send out a 
beverage order form and also carry a supply of pop, juices, beer, 
wine, hard liquor and bottled water.
All fishing needs(rods, reels, bait, terminal tackle), raingear, 
boats, fuel, rubber boots, are supplied, We also supply coffee, tea, 
coffeemate, sugars, salt, pepper, hand and dish soap, paper towels, 
and toilet tissue.

Secluded from the city life Rivers Inlet will offer peace and quite 
for those seeking a resting spot.

200 yards of line peeling off in seconds is a sound you’ll never 
forget. That’s the sound a 65-lb Tyee pounding your plug and tearing 
off, hell-bent for Asia. Then the real work begins, trying to coax 
that hog to the boat. And before long you start wishing you had 
spent a few more hours at the fitness center before the trip..

Salmon fishing at Black Gold Lodge is simply outstanding. There’s no 
other way to say it. Rivers Inlet, home to three major river 
systems, is teeming with giant chinook and fat coho, along with all 
other Pacific salmon species. The unique geography here stacks all 
the odds in your favor for the promise of an unforgettable fishing 
experience.

“Springs” (the Kilbella and Chuckwalla chinook) arrive in early 
June, with numbers increasing as the Wannock River stock appears. A 
second run starts mid- to late-July, peaking by mid-
August. “Northerns” (coho) run from mid-July through September in 
such numbers than 20-30 fish days are not uncommon.

The area known as The Wall has probably produced more big fish than 
any other spot on the B.C. coast. Crows Nest, The Triangle, The Dome 
(nearby), and Cranstown Point have also been very productive. (When 
you arrive we’ll clue you in on some other hot spots that we like to 
keep quiet.)

HALIBUT

When it’s time to take a break from the salmon action, swing by the 
lodge for a change of tackle and hang out on the bottom for a while. 
Halibut fishing may not offer the same level of heart-pounding 
action as a fight with a good strong chinook, but fishermen who 
target halibut usually get the last laugh when they haul in a fish 
three times the weight of the day’s biggest salmon.

Don’t even try hoist these big suckers into the boat; just lash them 
to the stern and tow them in.

Just a few hundred yards from the lodge, out in the middle of goose 
bay, lie some of the biggest barn doors on the coast. You’ll find 
nice sandy bottom between Cow and Calf islands, and also off the 
shore of Open Bight 


COD & SNAPPER

While you’re on the bottom looking for halibut, you may come across 
a few ling cod or snapper. Not only are they a lot of fun to catch 
(and eager to take your bait), they’re some of the best eating fish 
in the ocean! Bring a few in for supper, or stock up for the trip 
home.
