DUVAL POINT LODGE

Duval Point Lodge is nestled in a protected bay. About 15 minutes by boat from Port Hardy, BC, on northern Vancouver Island.

At the northern end of Johnstone Strait, we are in an area through which virtually all of the millions of salmon which migrate down from the north Pacific each year must pass. It is also one of the coasts’ most productive bottom fishing areas, producing ling cod up to 70 pounds, halibut and a variety of rock fish.

You can reach Port Hardy, BC via the Island Highway or scheduled air service. Once in Port Hardy your host Dave will pick you up and take you on a scenic boat trip to the lodge. Although only a 20 minute ride from Port Hardy, you will feel as though you are miles from anywhere. The scenery is spectacular and the fishing spots uncrowded.

What can you expect in a day a Duval Point Lodge? Wake early (or at your leisure) and step into a comfortable 16 1/2 foot welded aluminum boat equipped with all the gear and tackle you’ll need for a day’s fishing. Then hit the fishing grounds (some of the biggest springs are caught in an area 5 minutes from the lodge!). Relax and enjoy the unsurpassed beauty of your surroundings, craggy shores covered with wind-swept trees, eagles and a variety of sea-birds, otters, seals and occasionally a pod of killer whales. Many of our guests have said that even if they hadn’t caught a fish, the trip was worth it for the wild beauty!

At the end of a day’s fishing, come on back to the lodge where you can relax on the deck while you barbecue your catch, or gather around the fireplace in the lodge while you cook dinner in the well-equipped modern kitchen. If you want to try for the evening bite, feel free. If you’d rather just visit with friends in the lodge or rest in your room, that’s fine too. You decide how to spend your time.

We o er several di erent packages, from bring your own boat, use our boat or a fully guided fishing experience. Book the adventure that fits you on our website, www.duvalpointlodge.com

Tyler Miller of MillerTime Fishing (fishmillertime.com) is Tri-Cities’ most active and coolest night fishing guide. Here he hoists his personal-best walleye of 17 pounds 14 ounces. He caught this fish in the same manner that his clients do – flatlining a Bandit plug over 100 feet behind a boat under cover of darkness. (FISHMILLERTIME.COM)
