Killer whales (orcas), grey whales, humpback whales and porpoises are common encounters in our waters.

In addition to prolific fishing, it is likely that during your Reel Obsession adventure, you’ll come across a variety of marine life. We are proud to offer fishing charters out of our West coast lodge from May to September as well as fishing charters direct from Victoria, B.C. Vancouver Island has the mildest climate in British Columbia and all of Canada offering amazing year-round fishing charter opportunities. River Salmon fishing is a British Columbia institution, and here at Nootka Wilderness Lodge weve got all the gear you need to land the salmon of your dreams. Although regulations require these large females be released throughout all of British Columbia, our guests land a number of excellent eating-size fish that keep them returning year-after-year. Halibut over 200 pounds call these waters home. The underwater reefs and humps that make up Esperanza and Nootka Sound offer an abundant variety of this delectable white meat. Halibut and bottom fish are part of our daily routine. The result is simple, it means you won’t hear us say, “you should have been here yesterday.” Big salmon caught off the coast of vancouver island. This prolific fishery gives us access to dozens of different runs heading to their home rivers through our entire fishing season. This funnels all south migrating salmon to our specific location, at the base of the funnel. Our lodge is located on what they call, “The Salmon Highway”, where the continental shelf comes closer to Vancouver Island, than anywhere else on the coast. Our salmon fishery is second-to-none on the west coast of British Columbia. Guest satisfaction is high and the majority of our groups fish with us year-after-year, booking their fishing adventure with us over a year in advance. At Reel Obsession, we pride ourselves in showing our guests a truly unforgettable, fun, and first-class experience. Our team of professional guides love to catch fish!
