Outpost Lodge- Salmon Fishing Haida Gwaii

Norm Hann • July 20, 2010

This week I am back up at the Outpost Lodge working for my good friend and Lodge Manager, Ken Beatty. The Outpost Lodge is remotely located on the west side of Graham Island. I flew up yesterday to Masset and then helicoptered in to the westside. It is great to be back in Haida Gwaii, this is the third summer that i have come up as a relief guide. Fishing has been spotty(for the Charlottes) but we had a good morning bringing 4 chinooks to the boat with the biggest being 25lbs. The northwest wind really came up today so we will be sticking close to home this afternoon. Really good crew of guys to guide with up here……..Boat 4, Lefty, McLovin, Bedside Ben, PorkChop, Jappy. I am here till Monday the 26th and then back to Squamish. Everyone has to visit Haida Gwaii at some point in their lives. I am hoping to return next May for Standup4GreatBear: Haida Gwaii.

I’m thrilled to be back in the Maldives, eagerly anticipating our paddle surf adventure in 2027. This marks my third journey with Moon Tours, a company that has been delivering exceptional experiences in the Maldives for over a decade, catering to travelers in search of a unique surfing experience in one of the most stunning locations on the planet. Over the course of 10 nights, we’ll navigate the heart of the Maldives aboard the splendid MV Adora, chasing the swell, wind, and conditions wherever they may lead us. As I look back on my previous trips, a few key insights from these surf excursions truly stand out.
