Best Fishing Trip Ever

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Aug 16, 2015
2015 - My 10th visit to Sportsman Club at Rivers Inlet with my brother. The excitement builds from the time we leave Vancouver and fly directly to the lodge. This year was by far the best ever, weather, rooms, staff, food and oh I almost forgot, FANTASTIC FISHING!!!

WOW!! That is my opening. WOW is also my closing. The best fly-in, best fishing, best guides, best accommodations, best boats and equipment, and personable, and personable. Personable was intended to be mentioned twice. You're not a Guest here...You're an old friend at best and more often treated better than your family treats you! Simon will direct you to where the fish are and what you need to get them in the boat. His Mother, Barbra is top notch, or one above the top notch if that is possible. Her focus is your enjoyment and her goal is to make sure you are completely happy and satisfied during your stay. She does a wonderful job and is a Love. I just got home today from a trip with my Father who is 82. We had a wonderful time, caught our limits, and even pick up a few Lings 18+ pounds. This is our second trip there, and this one was better than our first. I almost forgot to mention the Staff. They are a 3rd WOW. After talking with Barbra, she mentioned how proud she was to see a large portion of her staff go on to be Dentist, DR, Lawyers, etc. These are well put together, young who's- who's. My hat is off to Rivers Inlet. They are above and beyond fabulous!

This place is all about the fishing! From the second you get off the amazing float plane trip, it is obvious the staff is there to insure a successful fishing experience.This was the trip 5 buddies and I dreamed about, with a recommendation from Patrick at Snowwater Heli-Skiing,we booked the last week in July of 2014. It has the best location; protected, closest fishing,floating, and not one car sighted the whole trip! The scenery is pristine.
Two guys in a boat with info on hot areas and gear is all we needed, some of us did use guides for a couple days, they are worth every penny! Cohos were plentiful, big Kings heated up during our stay.The food was great, hearty, flavorful and plentiful. Clean comfortable rooms, no reason to be in them except to sleep. Simon, the kitchen, dock and guide staff do an amazing job, usually spending their free time fishing! Great trip! We will be back!

My wife and I spent 4 1/2 days at the Sportsman's Club in late July, 2014. Everything about our experience was top-notch. I expected good fishing but it was better than I thought it would be. Running your own boat and handling all of the fishing is so much more rewarding then sitting on a guided charter. And the calm waters allow for an open boat so you feel part of the raw, wild country around you. The staff was attentive to every whim and made us feel at home. The food was great, the cabin's clean and warm. We got everything we hoped for and more. A great vacation that we will never forget.

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!
