SALMON'S MOOCHING LODGE
Catch huge Chinooks the old-fashioned way
The Legacy Lodge's fleet of custom Sea Scouts heads out in search of another great day of fishing in the waters of British Columbia's Rivers Inlet.
How to get there: Getting to Legacy Lodge is a good part of the fun. You may have to spend a night coming and going in beautiful Vancouver in order to dovetail with the charter round-trip flights to and from Legacy Lodge. The first leg is by turbo-prop to Port Hardy on the northern tip of Vancouver Island. From there, you hop a floatplane for a scenic 40-minute ride.
What to bring: Top notch foul weather gear is provided, including rubber boots. It's a good idea to bring your own good lightweight rain gear for before and after fishing excursions. Temperatures can range from near freezing to well into the 70's so bring layered clothing, preferably modern wicking fibers other than cotton.
Although rain is a possibility at any time, so is sunburn on unprotected skin. So bring, and wear, a wide-brimmed hat and sunscreen. Although bugs aren't bad from August on, it's still a good idea to bring along insect repellent. Fishing gear: Although some anglers might be tempted to bring their favorite salmon fishing gear from home, it won't match up in fun and effectiveness with traditional Rivers Inlet salmon fishing tackle. Legacy also provides all the terminal gear.
