Kagoagh Resort and Fishing Lodge

From the moment you are greeted with the smell of freshly baked cookies and the taste of sparkling wine to the sad moment when you have to leave behind the thoughtful and attentive smiles of Gina and Tyler this is an experience to die for. The place has a spectacular view across the full expanse of Hecate Cove, you get three meals of equally spectacular cuisine (ask Gina for the bouillabaisse) and you get very friendly service tailored exactly to your needs. For an out-of-the-way lodge the rooms are way more comfortable and luxurious than I have experienced at other remote lodges with beautiful decor, hot showers, comfortable beds and those oh so glorious views. A group of us were there to kayak and despite returning from our trips each afternoon dripping salt water from our neoprene clothes and booties there was always a place to hang and dry our things and, of course, those marvellous baked goods as a greeting. And on the one day of fishing that a group of us took we came home with enough halibut and ling cod to exceed our expectations. Five days at Kagoagh Lodge left me refreshed and revived for the next year, until my return next May!

My 2 boys got me a 1 day fishing trip at Kagoagh Resort for my 80th birthday. I can’t say enough good things about our experience. Our goal was salmon and we also had time for halibut. The lodge is fully modern and the rooms have the most comfortable queen size beds. The dinners were to die for. 5 star crab, shrimp, halibut, Caesar salad, steak. You choose. During our trip, Tyler (joint owner) guided on one boat and Alexa guided on ours and gave us a most memorable fishing experience. Many fish were caught, and the guides looked after filleting while I believe the ladies bagged,labeled and froze them. I am recommending Kagoagh to anyone who wants a great ocean fishing trip and I hope to return myself someday.

Our family of five (all adults) recently stayed and fished at Kagoagh Lodge and Resort, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Everything was completely wonderful and first-rate, including the accommodations, food, guided fishing, and the welcome and hospitality provided by everyone at the lodge. Our guides were Tyler (who owns the resort along with his wife Gina, who graciously and generously hosted us at the lodge) and Alexei (“Big A”). Both were very accommodating and personable, knowledgeable and expert guides who took us to the best and most productive spots on both our fishing days (we limited out during two days of fishing for chinook and coho salmon, ling cod and halibut, and even got a few rockfish). We also greatly enjoyed just spending time conversing with them and being educated about the fishing and the general area, as well as just joking around together (along with another guide - Thomas/“Rooster” - who was the guide for another party). After the fishing, the guides/staff also immediately and expertly clean and dress your catch for you, then vacuum-seal and flash-freeze it to preserve freshness for the trip home. The three-course meals and baking prepared by Gina and her staff (Mac and Naomi) onsite at the lodge were sumptuous and delicious, and even the packed sandwich lunches and snacks for the boats were great and totally satisfying. The lodge itself is very clean and comfortable, well-appointed and up-to-date, and even provides a large “Rec Room” area where guests can lounge or play pool, table tennis, foosball, shuffleboard, darts and basketball shooting, or even work out when not fishing. All-in-all, a top-notch lodge and resort with access to great fishing grounds, and the time we spent there surpassed our expectations; we definitely plan to return, and would highly recommend it to others! Thanks Tyler, Gina and everyone at Kagoagh for a most enjoyable time, and memories that our family will cherish forever!

We had the fortune of going out with Tyler for fishing!! Tyler is great and made us feel very comfortable. It was relaxing, exciting and enjoyable all at the same time! Highly recommended experience for people with different fishing skills! Few words: Outstanding and you will love it! BTW Gina sandwiches for the trips were great :) Filippo

More joy and laughter than stars up above. Second experience with my gal pal fishing at Kagoagh Lodge. You may arrive rather stressed? If so - - Welcome to a world of beauty/peace/love and harmony. It's all there at your fingertips. And fish??? No guarantees in the fishing world but they are out there !!!! Mother Nature is a fact. Weather is reality. Fishing is a sport. Be prepared for anything. Luck was on our side. Salmon, halibut, lingcod, beautiful smaller rockfish - - caught them all. Two outstanding Captains at the wheel. Hallsee & AA - Scrappie & Nygard bow with thanks. We had a ridiculously fun feeding frenzy at one spot. Coho biting keeping me roaring with delight. True story - - We actually caught a keeper coho first cast, second day in under 5 seconds ! 3 witnesses Assistance at all times should I need it. Responsible, knowledgeable, skilled Captains on duty for us during those two ten hour treks. Michele was there for me too. Fun at it's finest. The food, sweet Gina and staff - - Our road trip was 100 percent perfect. ✨

Spent my birthday here and had an amazing time. Gina and Tyler were amazing and greeted us with treats as soon as we arrived. Our seafood dinner was exceptional, and Gina's homemade muffins didn't disappoint. Beautiful and peaceful oceanfront view, especially in the hot tub. The rooms were nice and clean, and I did enjoy the private patio attached to the room. Would definitely love to go back and enjoy this lodge again. Highly recommended.
