Coastal Springs Float Lodge (formerly Sailcone Wilderness Fishing) has been in operation since 1977 on the British Columbia Coast between Knight Inlet and The Broughton Archipelago. Through this history, we have developed a culture, staff, and experience that is unlike anything else you will find in BC. Only accepting 8 guests or less per group allows us to give you the most personal and private fishing experience available. With all 5 Pacific Salmon species, halibut, ling cod, rockfish, grizzly bears, orcas, humpbacks, dolphins, eagles and more, our protected waters will give you a trip to remember for years to come.
Salmon Fishing
Our full service lodge has been in operation for over four decades and is located on the central British Columbia coast amid the splendour of Knight Inlet and Blackfish Sound. Our protected location lets us take advantage of calm waters unavailable to most other lodges in British Columbia. This combined with a lodge designed to accommodate smaller groups makes Coastal Springs Float Lodge the premier salmon fishing experience in British Columbia. From the central location of the lodge, we fish Knight Inlet and the surrounding waters for all five species of Pacific salmon, with our main focus on the large Chinook (King or Tyee) with our well seasoned staff seeing to it that every effort is made to make your stay a memorable one.
Wildlife
Knight Inlet is world famous Grizzly Bear and Black Bear habitat, Bald Eagles, Orcas, Humpback whales, and other wildlife are abundant, fishing is superb, and the river systems supports a phenomenal fall salmon run. The opportunities for nature photography in Knight Inlet and the Broughton Archipelago are world-renowned. Upon request, we happily will take you on an afternoon eco tour if you have caught your limit and are looking for something different, or you have a group member who is not the biggest fisher in the world. Many of our guides are also experienced and very knowledgable Bear and Whale watching guides in addition to their fishing expertise.
With ever-changing cycles of nature, each trip is unique. You will discover the excitement of being amongst whales, bald eagles, and more in their natural habitat. An unpredictable wilderness, full of surprises is waiting for you. You will never forget this!
