Kagoagh Resort and Fishing Lodge

Quatsino

Our family of five (all adults) recently stayed and fished at Kagoagh Lodge and Resort, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Everything was completely wonderful and first-rate, including the accommodations, food, guided fishing, and the welcome and hospitality provided by everyone at the lodge.
Our guides were Tyler (who owns the resort along with his wife Gina, who graciously and generously hosted us at the lodge) and Alexei (“Big A”). Both were very accommodating and personable, knowledgeable and expert guides who took us to the best and most productive spots on both our fishing days (we limited out during two days of fishing for chinook and coho salmon, ling cod and halibut, and even got a few rockfish). We also greatly enjoyed just spending time conversing with them and being educated about the fishing and the general area, as well as just joking around together (along with another guide - Thomas/“Rooster” - who was the guide for another party).
After the fishing, the guides/staff also immediately and expertly clean and dress your catch for you, then vacuum-seal and flash-freeze it to preserve freshness for the trip home.
The three-course meals and baking prepared by Gina and her staff (Mac and Naomi) onsite at the lodge were sumptuous and delicious, and even the packed sandwich lunches and snacks for the boats were great and totally satisfying. The lodge itself is very clean and comfortable, well-appointed and up-to-date, and even provides a large “Rec Room” area where guests can lounge or play pool, table tennis, foosball, shuffleboard, darts and basketball shooting, or even work out when not fishing.
All-in-all, a top-notch lodge and resort with access to great fishing grounds, and the time we spent there surpassed our expectations; we definitely plan to return, and would highly recommend it to others! Thanks Tyler, Gina and everyone at Kagoagh for a most enjoyable time, and memories that our family will cherish forever! 


"Fin"-tastic and "Fun"-tastic Experience!

We had the fortune of going out with Tyler for fishing!! Tyler is great and made us feel very comfortable. It was relaxing, exciting and enjoyable all at the same time! Highly recommended experience for people with different fishing skills! Few words:  Outstanding and you will love it!
BTW Gina sandwiches for the trips were great :)

Fishing at Kagoagh Resort

This was the most amazing vacation/fishing trip we have experienced.   We caught our limit of Tuna , Halibut , Coho Salmon, and Ling cod.  Owner /operator Tyler and his assistant guide, the fishing gear, the new  boat, were all top Notch.  All the meals that Gina prepared for us were amazing  and absolutely delicious. The accommodations were top rate.  We will be booking again.  And we loved Stella.

Thank you Tyler and Gina, it was an amazing trip

Absolute Must Fishing Trip

More joy and laughter than stars up above.  Second experience with my gal pal fishing at Kagoagh Lodge. You may arrive rather stressed? If so - -  Welcome to a world of beauty/peace/love and harmony. It's all there at your fingertips.

And fish???  No guarantees in the fishing world but they are out there !!!!  Mother Nature is a fact. Weather is reality. Fishing is a sport. Be prepared for anything. 

Luck was on our side. Salmon, halibut, lingcod, beautiful smaller rockfish - - caught them all. Two outstanding Captains at the wheel.  Hallsee & AA - Scrappie & Nygard bow with thanks.

We had a ridiculously fun feeding frenzy at one spot. Coho biting keeping me roaring with delight. True story - - We actually caught a keeper coho first cast, second day in under 5 seconds !  3 witnesses 

Assistance at all times should I need it. Responsible, knowledgeable, skilled Captains on duty for us during those two ten hour treks.  Michele was there for me too.  Fun at it's finest.

The food, sweet Gina and staff - -  Our road trip was 100 percent perfect. ✨ 



Gratitude and Glee

Spent my birthday here and had an amazing time. Gina and Tyler were amazing and greeted us with treats as soon as we arrived. Our seafood dinner was exceptional, and Gina's homemade muffins didn't disappoint. Beautiful and peaceful oceanfront view, especially in the hot tub. The rooms were nice and clean, and I did enjoy the private patio attached to the room. Would definitely love to go back and enjoy this lodge again. Highly recommended.

Loved this place!

For first-time fishermen (like me), or for veteran anglers, Kagoagh Lodge will exceed your expectations with home-style hospitality, authentic accommodations and unparalleled fishing.  Since I’ve never vacationed at any fishing lodge, let alone one located in the heart of a Canadian rainforest, I’ll share a few additional details on this once-in-a-lifetime (or is it?) holiday.

We started our adventure with two nights in Vancouver.  Unless you are in a rush, spending a night or two in Victoria or Vancouver to get oriented is a great way to start.  Vancouver is very lively in the summer and offers comfortable hotels, fantastic restaurants and ample sight-seeing.  We chose to take the BC Ferries from Vancouver to Vancouver Island, then drove roughly four hours north to Kagoagh.

Arrival and Accommodations: We arrived in the afternoon and I took a moment to check out the 19 foot whale jaw and chainsaw collection at Coal Harbour’s RCAF Museum.  From there, we met a boat from Kagoagh and took a short ride to the lodge for the next three nights.  Gina, one of the owners, greeted us warmly and we took the opportunity to relax before dinner.  Kagoagh has seven or so rooms and I shared one (“Chum”) with a member of my party.  The rooms are super-clean, comfortable and well appointed with an en suite bathroom, television, wifi and a desk. All the rooms face Hecate Cove and look down on the Kagoagh’s extraordinary dock.  Downstairs, we found a small bar and comfortable dining area, plus plenty of recreational opportunities like darts, foosball and table tennis.

Fishing: Kagoagh’s fishing, and accompanying nature experience, is not to be forgotten.  We were up early and on the water by 5:30am.  Our boat was Kagoagh’s brand new six person fishing “Cadillac”.  The boat was sturdy, comfortable, and ate up the Pacific’s choppy waters with ease.  Finding fish is never guaranteed, but our guide and co-owner Ty knew where to look.  I caught at or near my limit both days.  We fished for lingcod, salmons and halibut.  Ty’s expert and patient guidance made for a memorable experience.  Enough cannot be said about the natural beauty that surrounds Kagoagh Lodge.  From sea otters, to whales, to the beautiful eagle I spotted on the last afternoon, Kagoagh is impressive for its setting as well as its sport.

Dining: Lastly, our stay included thoughtfully prepared meals to complete the experience.  Gina and her team offered cooked-to-order options for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch on the boat, and delicious dinners to cap off the day.  Dinner includes a choice of entrees.  Beer and cocktails were also available for a small additional charge.  

To wrap it all up, Kagoagh can help prepare your fish to take home or, as we required, a local vendor will process, freeze and ship your catch for a fee.  We had a special experience from start to finish.  As my party exited from Kagoagh’s Bay (Watch)ing the Lodge disappear around the corner of Hecate Cove), we vowed to return someday…very soon.  Thank you Ty, Gina and the whole Kagoagh team.

Must Visit Resort: First-Timers or Veterans Will Love Kagoagh

Trip of a lifetime  I can't imagine better hosts ,guides and staff. Thank you for a fantastic  experience that can't be beat. Tyler and Gina truly know how to make people feel welcome. The food was  excellent.

Bucket list

We recently spent 2 nights and 1/2 fishing at the resort. From the time we arrived until departure Gina and Tyler(owners) as well as all the staff made us feel like royalty. The meals were amazing including the bag lunch for the boat. Our guide Alexa worked hard to help 2 rookies catch the big one. Amber and Brie helped make our stay most enjoyable and we plan to return. 

Not your typical fishing lodge

Gina and Tyler went above and beyond to get us fishing on the dates that worked short notice! The lodge is beautiful, our room was perfect, our prepared lunches and dinners were top notch.
The best part was the fishing! Non stop action all day. The otters, eagles and whales we saw up close and personal was a bonus. 
This is a special place for  sure. G and T and all the staff made it an awesome experience for us! 
Including Rambo our token dog when at the lodge. We loved it and will be back! 
Chris and Cathy.

Fishing adventure

Three of my friends and I went here for the first time August 4-8th. Due to our hard working fishing guide Thomas we got in some good salmon & halibut fishing. Accommodations and food were very good thanks to Gina and her staff. Planning to return next year.
