Rivers Inlet Resort and Rivers Inlet Sportsman's Club are collaborating this season to give you the best fishing experience possible. Rivers Inlet Resort will not be available during the 2010 fishing season, but we are encouraging you, our loyal guests, to fish with our friends at Rivers Inlet Sportsman’s Club.

Rivers Inlet Sportsman’s Club is family operated (Barbara & Simon Kelly), and offers amazing fishing at the mouth of Rivers Inlet. We are sure you will enjoy the same great atmosphere, first class lodging, and gracious hosts.

Rivers Inlet Resort has the shortest season of any coastal fishing lodge in British Columbia, July 25th through September 3rd.

Why?

Simple, because the peak of the trophy chinook salmon run at Rivers Inlet doesn't last long! That's why we only stay open for 38 days and 38 nights, during the very best time when our guests have the best chance to catch a world-class trophy chinook that weighs more than the average sized chinook.

During the past several years the peak of 40-plus pound salmon arrive at the head of Rivers Inlet (where Rivers Inlet Resort is located) during the last week of July. Instead of taking hard-earned money from hopeful anglers seeking trophy chinook salmon, we feel our short season provides the best chance at the fish of a lifetime without wasting time or money.

If you've fished elsewhere you know the feeling of accomplishment when you catch a trophy Tyee, (chinook salmon over 30-pounds). At Rivers Inlet Resort you can feel the surge of a Tyee that will average 40 pounds. That's right, our Tyee average 40 pounds, if guests follow our motto: Even when you factor in the small 25 to 30 pounders, the average stays within a pound or two of the sought-after 40 pound mark.

Catch a 40 pounder and you too can join the not-so-exclusive 40 Pound Club! Catch a 50 pounder and you can join the ranks of anglers who become addicted to trophy salmon fishing. We'll give you a gold hook for your 40 Pound Club hat too.

Indian Legend

There's another reason why Rivers Inlet Resort stays open just 40 days & 40 nights. The Arc story from the Bible and Indian legend. "When the water receded they found themselves in the land of GIANT salmon," Indian Legend.

After visiting Rivers Inlet Resort you too will become a believer in the Indian legend, and will find yourself in the land of GIANT salmon!
