Legacy Lodge is the realization of a world you hoped was not lost. It is truly an awakening to nature and was created for those who yearn for the perfect fishing vacation. Our guides have fished the waters of the Pacific Northwest, from Oregon to Alaska, for 50+ years. Of all the places they have cast a line, none compares to the wild beauty and world-class fishing that Legacy Lodge provides. Legacy Lodge offers seven private guest rooms and 11 double occupancy suites. From the moment you arrive, you will be spoiled with the luxury of our deluxe accommodations and first-class service. Our friendly and personal staff will ensure every detail is taken care of so you can relax, unwind, explore and create memories to last a lifetime! ​ Renowned for its customer service and the recipient of the 2018 Trip Advisor Award of Excellence, Legacy Lodge offers its guests some distinct advantages. ​ Legacy Lodge’s fleet of 175 Scout Sport fishing boats allow our guests to fish anywhere within Rivers Inlet and the Fitz Hugh Sound. Why fish in crowded waters when you can fish in solitude where only the whales will intrude upon your fishing adventure. ​ Legacy Lodge has its own, private radio channel, allowing guides and guests to share fishing information without others impeding upon your adventure. ​ Legacy Lodge has 4-5 guides on the water with guests all day, every day. The guides are responsible for keeping all guests on active fish throughout the day. Guests can have as much or as little in-boat guide assistance as they wish, yet they are free to fish on their own as much as desired.

Carved into the rugged coastline of British Columbia and located 280 nautical miles north of Vancouver, Legacy Lodge sits at the mouth of the famed Rivers Inlet. 38 miles in length and 7 miles wide at its mouth, this fjord-like inlet holds incredible numbers of Chinook and Coho salmon migrating toward their natural streams at the head of Rivers Inlet. In addition to the salmon runs indigenous to Rivers Inlet, Legacy guests intercept vast runs of salmon migrating North and South through the Fitz Hugh Sound throughout the season.

Legacy Lodge provides three distinct seasons of fishing. Traditional salmon fishing (mooching) with cut-plug herring and fly fishing for Chinook and Coho salmon is available from mid-July through September in secluded locations throughout Rivers Inlet. Halibut, Yellow Eye and Lingcod are also plentiful in these waters all summer. Heli-fishing for huge Northern Coho salmon (20-plus lbs.) within the pristine rivers of the B.C. coastline is available during September and October, and wild steelhead fishing from helicopters is available during April and May.

Upon your arrival in British Columbia, you will board our 3:30 pm charted plane from the south terminal of Vancouver International Airport and take a one-hour flight to Port Hardy, located on the northern tip of Vancouver Island, where you will then board a seaplane for the incredible 30-minute flight across the Queen Charlotte Sound into Legacy Lodge. Have your camera ready, as this flight over the British Columbia coast is spectacular!
