Bountiful bottom fishing on BC’s West Coast

HALIBUT & BOTTOM FISHING

One of the great advantages of fishing with Langara Island Lodge is the opportunity to explore the rugged west coast of Langara and Graham Islands. Just a 20-minute boat ride from our docks, this spectacular stretch of coastline offers some of the most productive bottom fishing anywhere in British Columbia.

Known simply as the “West Side,” these rich Pacific waters deliver incredible opportunities for halibut and lingcod throughout the season. But the fishing is only part of the experience. Rounding the northwest corner of Langara Island, you'll pass the historic Langara Island Lighthouse, one of the few remaining staffed lighthouses in British Columbia. On a clear day, look north and you'll catch a glimpse of the distant mountains of Alaska. It's a wild and beautiful place to spend a day on the water.

For those who prefer calmer, more sheltered waters, the eastern side of Langara Island also offers excellent halibut fishing, giving guests plenty of options depending on conditions and preferences.

Back at the lodge, your catch will be professionally cleaned, vacuum-packed, and flash-frozen, ready to take home and share with family and friends. It's a wonderful way to bring a little of the Langara experience home with you.
