Visit Resort - The Outpost
The Outpost Overview
The Outpost is a land based resort that was built to be "the Outpost" to The Clubhouse and to offer guests access to a location that would not otherwise be accessible. The lodge is perfectly situated on the reaches of the west coast of Haida Gwaii and provides an experience like no other fishing lodge.
The Outpost was built to give anglers access to a fishery that provides vast numbers of salmon and monster halibut within 15 minutes of the dock. There are many other ways to spend your trip as you explore the coastal rainforest surroundings.
Visit Resort - North Island Lodge
North Island Lodge Overview
The North Island Lodge is Langara Island's floating palace. Located just off the northern tip of Canada's Haida Gwaii islands, North Island Lodge is perfectly situated to deliver the world's best fishing experience.
The secret is our location; moored directly over the fishing grounds, staying on our floating lodge allows you to have lines in the water, just 10 minutes from leaving the dock! Situated on the edge of the Continental Shelf on Canada's northwestern tip, Langara Island fishing is beyond compare. This particular area of Langara Island is a feeding ground for millions of salmon and halibut, that gather each year to feast on the schools of herring and other bait fish which come here to spawn each spring.
Visit Resort - Panama
Panama Overview
Offering an unique experience, West Coast Fishing Club's newest destination is a magnificent 160 ft ship, moored in a pristine bay off the southern part of the Las Perlas Islands. With accommodation for up to twelve guests, this grand floating hotel offers the setting, service and surrounds of a world-class establishment, moored just off the shore from the future home of West Coast Fishing Club's Pacific Panama Resort.
The Las Perlas Islands is an archipelago in the Gulf of Panama that has long been a sought after destination for world class fishing. Moored in the most southern point of the islands, off the rugged shores of Isla Del Rey, our luxurious floating hotel at Punta Coco offers the ultimate jumping off point for world class Billfishing. Minutes from the ship you will find incredible Rooster, Tuna and Durado fishing.
