Our group used to run a local salmon enhancement fishing Derby in Sooke,BC. Every year since the derby folded we plan as a group do a yearly trip taking our own boats to different places on the island. We're pretty picky as we sportfish as well year round. Most of the places we stay at we usually process all our own catch, and take care of everything. I approached Dan Brunet who runs the lodge about a trip for us. Since we booked Dan and staff went out of the way to accommodate us. I have to say all of us were impressed. The food was awesome and staff was great. We never had to ask for anything a second time. Well run lodge and well worth the money. Highly recommend. Jerrod Pinder Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada
