Salmon Fishing
With the numerous abundant runs of salmon that pass through this area from May to September, there are always salmon in Kyuquot Sound! The rock piles inshore start producing in May and continue through September. The offshore reefs and banks literally attract salmon year round. With this unique geography and location, this is the area where the vast majority of migrating schools of Chinook first head inland as they follow the coast down to their home rivers.
Rugged Point Lodge is very close to the fishing action. The closest hot-spot is Spring Island, only 2 miles from our dock with depths of 40-110ft it can be fished in just about all weather conditions. It is one of the best places in B.C. to catch chinook. From there it is a short 3 mile run offshore to the Kyuquot ridge, which runs from the inside corner of the Kyuquot reef to the rock piles off of Lookout Island. Here you are fishing in depths of 130-180ft, this underwater gravel bar holds chinook year round and is one of our main fishing areas. From there it is another 5 miles out to the "50 fathom edge" which is commonly known as the "Salmon Highway." There is no better place to fish on the west coast of Vancouver Island.
