I started working for Queen Charlotte Lodge in 2010. The Haida Gwaii, British Columbia, Canada(Queen Charlotte Islands) is the mecca for Pacific Salmon fishing. QCL is located right in the middle of the best fishing grounds in the Haida Gwaii. To experience the very best Salmon fishing which the Pacific ocean has to offer, you must make your way to QCL. The abundance of wildlife to be encountered is immeasurable - the Haida Gwaii has been nicknamed the Galapagos of the north. The serenity and beauty of the islands cannot be compared to anywhere else on the west coast of North America. The last ice-age did not touch the islands, leaving the land to remain raw and awe-inspiring. While QCL and its' several venues offer luxury at its' finest, and while we boast a better than 1-1 ratio of staff to guests, visiting the Haida Gwaii is like stepping back in time hundreds of years.
My 30+ years of experience on the coast is one of my greatest assets. Perseverance, dedication to my trade and constant learning are how I continue to excel above others. I appreciate every opportunity I get to share my knowledge of the west coast and the cycles of life we encounter. While safety must always reign number 1 on the list of importance, enjoyment and fun on the water are close 2nd and 3rd. There are NO bad days!
I am a 4th generation fisherman. My family started the Sooke Fishery on southern Vancouver Island, BC nearly a century ago. I bleed fishing and the west coast. I have grown up utilizing these opportunities for both sustenance and employment, creating a career I look forward to everyday. My passion is contagious, come be a part of it. Experience Fishing First Class.
