As mentioned above, some years it's hot, some years it's not. Runs and weather are always unpredictable. If this place fits you, go for it. No customs in Port Hardy so we fly from Renton/Seattle, to customs in Campbell River, then direct to the lodge (4.5 hours in Beaver seaplanes; nice but long scenic). You can fish exposed to the ocean most of the time, or 25 minute run to acceptable halibut, or fish in coves and protected bays. Most fishing is less than 10 minutes run and out of 17' Whalers with 40 hp. Fishing is 3-5 oz with herring, very easy. Food is B grade but hot and adequate, but it's not a luxury lodge...no phones, no TV's. Mostly fish on your own because it's so simple, or one of the 2 guides can set you up (55 clients in camp at a time). Some years there are tons of kings, others it's very slow. We've caught 4 kings over 50 lbs in the last 3 years, but we fish dawn to dusk. It ain't a gimme, but there are big fish. PM if you want more info.
