FISHING GROUNDS


Fishing Grounds Map
Located right in the gateway to the North Pacific, our fishing grounds offer a wealth of opportunity to QCL anglers. The relatively shallow waters, full of baitfish and plankton, provide the perfect habitat for hungry salmon just beginning their homeward migration. Sheltered from the open Pacific, these fishing grounds produce an abundance of sportfish over the course of the summer that rivals any locale on the coast.

Fishing Grounds Virago Sound
The shoreline of Virago Sound is studded with rocky outcrops forming quiet little coves along its length. Cloaked with life-giving kelp forests, and teeming with herring and needlefish, it's salmon fishing paradise!

Fishing Grounds Bird Rock II
The MV Driftwood spends much of her time at anchor in the quiet water behind Bird Rock II, serving as the centre of operations during the fishing day. Those guests staying aboard the Driftwood awake each day with the unique opportunity to drop a line over the side and hook a Tyee Chinook before they even put their socks on!

Driftwood Fishing Grounds
Our guests enjoy the Driftwood's hospitality and services throughout the average 12 to 16 hour fishing day! Somedays they even receive visits from the local wildlife!
