From the easy flight in,to the friendly happy faces on the dock when I landed I knew I was in for a great time.
Simon and his crew quickly get you into the fishing with his semiar on the dock. Lots to learn for a newbie like me! Our guides where A+(red beard& number 2)
I was asked numerous times how the staff can make my stay more special. Wow!! I will definitely be back in years to come.
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.
