This is not a five star hotel. It is a five star fishing experience! Barb and Simon are great hosts. They literally spend their whole day running, caring for their guest's needs. They truly work hard at making the trip the best it can be. The staff are equally caring and hard working. The location is also five star! It is truly one of the most beautiful places in the world. You can see everything wild here, killer whales, porpoises, whales, sharks, seals, eagles, falcons, hawks... a regular Canadian Safari!! Oh, and the fishing is to die for! Caught my first Tyee there... OK, my only Tyee there! But I wear the Tyee Ball cap I received in recognition from the Lodge with great pride! You can't go wrong here!

i have been to over 3 different fishing lodges off the BC coast. This was by far the most enjoyable in every aspect. The staff remembered your name from the second you met them. The accommodation was extremely clean. The food was by far the best and most consistent out of any lodge i have visited. I also took sales staff on this trip and it was by far the best team building i have ever done. I have flown staff all over North America on trips in the past 10 years, and little did i know a fishing trip to this lodge was as far as i needed to go! I highly recommend this lodge. Each and every staff member truly goes out of their way to ensure you have the best results fishing, geared up properly, and of course fed well. I can assure you from the numerous guests i met at the lodge who have never missed a season for over 5-15 years at this lodge, you will not find a better place!

My wife and I do not fish very often (probably once in our ten years of marriage). We booked this trip as a way to get out and see some of the rugged beauty of the Pacific Northwest and to maybe catch a fish along the way. I had heard about Rivers Inlet through a co-worker and thought it really sounded interesting.
We were both completely impressed and thoroughly enjoyed our trip. Every detail, from the amazingly scenic flight up the coastline through some of the most breathtaking scenery imaginable, to the staff, accommodations, and food, were all beyond our expectations. Not knowing anything about salmon fishing, we made arrangements for a guide our first day. It was the right thing to do as he was knowledgeable and very patient in teaching us the skills we would need over the next several days as we went it alone. He helped us feel confident with the techniques and we were successful in the next few days in loading up a couple of boxes with some beautiful salmon to bring home. We had no idea we were going to enjoy the fishing as much as we did.
It's easy to see all the great comments about the world class fishing and the beautiful setting, but one of the aspects we most enjoyed was meeting the other guests. There are truly some fascinating people who are either there for the first time or who have been coming to Rivers Inlet for years and the casual ambience of the common areas and dining together really allow you time to meet some very interesting travelers.
I can really not say enough about how much my wife and I enjoyed our experience. From the moment we booked, through the follow up since our trip, everyone at Rivers Inlet made us feel welcome and valued. They provided excellent equipment, fantastic food and first class service. We both look forward to returning.
