Default Fall fishing trip to Langara was amazing

We had exceptional fishing and weather and company amongst friends.












The bottom fishing was amazing. Caught dozens of large hard fighting lingcod… some as big as 45 lbs. Descended a lot of large yelloweye. Caught some nice sized halibut and caught so many coho we were exhausted. We landed some hard fighting chinooks to round out the trip.

There were 64 of us this year and looking to take another lodge full next year. I go self guided and have a blast.

This was an epic trip. We lost count of how many double, triples and quad bites.

Weather was spectacular around Langara island.

Food and service at Langara Fishing Lodge was excellent.

Largest Chinook caught on the trip was 40.5 lb. Halibut 54 lb. Many people Lingcod over 45 lbs and most released. Saw a couple sablefish caught

Looks like a stellar trip.
I looked on the pic of the names listed on the whiteboard, I know 2 of the guys on it.
I assume this is the trip that Jim has organized for many years?
Congrats on a cooler full of fish.

I’ve been organizing it for 17 years. Next year is 18. Message me if you want on the list.

Everyone is welcome.

That said… usually get a 85-90% return rate. The 10-15 are made up of new folks and folks that come every 2-4 years. Trip is full (66) in 1-4 weeks almost every year.

Direct flight… Calgary to Masset and we have a derby including cash prizes and two free trip prizes as well as a very good group discount I can only release privately.
