Review Highlights
Guests describe Walter's Cove Resort in very positive terms. Nearly every review gives 5 out of 5 stars, and the single 4-star review is also favorable. Many reviewers are repeat guests, some on their 3rd, 4th or 5th trip, and several say they have already booked the next year. Some experienced anglers, with 24 to 60-plus years of salt and freshwater fishing and visits to other BC lodges, call it their best or one of their best fishing trips. The lodge is on Vancouver Island's west coast near Kyuquot. It is a smaller, more personal lodge of about 20 guests.
The fishing is the most consistent praise. Guests report limits of chinook, coho, halibut and lingcod, and often rockfish, usually with productive, protected water 10 to 20 minutes from the lodge. Several groups finished their limits early, and some took home 80 to 230 pounds of fish. Many guides are local or First Nations guides. Guests call them knowledgeable, personable and good at finding fish. Guests describe the Grady White boats and the fishing and foul-weather gear as high quality. Fish are cleaned, vacuum-sealed or flash-frozen, boxed and customized to each guest's request, which one reviewer calls the best they have seen at several BC lodges. Guests describe staff and management, often including general manager Terry, as friendly, attentive and professional. The food gets frequent praise, with a breakfast buffet, a choice of entrees at dinner and plenty of snacks. Guests generally call the rooms clean and comfortable, many with a small balcony. Guests also mention the hot tub, the bar with a pool table, and a traditional salmon BBQ with stories and songs from local First Nations hosts. Guests often mention wildlife such as whales, otters, sea lions and eagles, as well as the scenery. Access is by float plane from Vancouver/Richmond or by driving to Fair Harbour, and reviewers describe both as smooth.
Complaints are few and minor. Guests describe the rooms as cozy, small or a little tight, with two twin beds, and one guest in a room above the dining room found it noisy at night. One reviewer notes that alcohol is bought separately and the wine is expensive. Two experienced reviewers say the bottom fish and some salmon run a bit smaller or less numerous than at other west coast spots, though still plentiful. Results depend on conditions: one guest in early season found coho spotty and had some wind and rough seas. The resort is best suited to anglers who want a guided, full-limit salmon, halibut and lingcod trip with good food and service. Reviewers include groups of friends, couples, father-son trips, first-time fly-in guests and experienced BC lodge anglers. It suits people who value a smaller lodge, local culture and scenery over spacious rooms.

Top Notch West Coast Fishing
Walter's Cove Resort is a wonderful way to experience some of the best fishing on the West Coast of Canada. The service and facilities are all top notch. Staff are very friendly and attentive. The food was excellent and plentiful, Fishing was excellent with a selection of veteran guides and good quality boats and fishing gear. All very well done.

Amazing fishing adventure!!
The customer service exceeded my expectations from the time I arrived on the dock until my departure. The lodge staff were warm, hospitable, and accommodating. The lodge was comfortable, well appointed, yet rustic. The guides were skilled, knowledgeable and friendly. In addition to catching good size (10 plus) pound salmon, the scenery was pristine with an abundance of bird and marine life. Thanks, I'll be back. (Stayed June 2016)

Simply the Best!!!
I was lucky enough to be invited along to a fishing trip at Walters Cove Resort in August 2015. The group was drawn to the lodge in the hopes to do some Tuna fishing which is not offered by many lodges on the West Coast. Needless to say, the entire fishing experience was fantastic, almost every member of our group was limited out coming home. We were even stopped at the airport by other people on different fishing trips asking where we had gone as they weren't bringing home a fraction of what we had.

Guided fishing early July
Our guide was excellent as was the staff at the lodge. This lodge has a nice layout. We were able to walk on the island and see the rainforest, old growth trees and natural beaches. We arrived at 2:30 and were on the water by 3:30. With our excellent guide, we were onto a doubleheader of small spring within five minutes of getting the rods in the water. Mathew our First Nations guide was putting us on top of the fish every day. The beds, food and service were excellent. (Stayed July 2018)

Unforgettable Kyuquot experience.
My Son and I chose this resort for our fishing trip of a lifetime, liking the idea of driving in. Walters Cove Resort did not disappoint us. The beauty of this area is absolutely breathtaking. The manager and dock staff greeted us on arrival and the lodge staff took care of us quickly. We were assigned our guide Darryl who made sure our 4 days of fishing were the best ever. The Master Chef and kitchen staff prepared amazing dinners every night. All of our fish were cleaned, vacuum packed and flash frozen every day. A soak in the hot tub after a long day on the water was a highlight. (Stayed July 2018)

Spring Salmon Heaven
My spouse and I just returned from a 5 day trip to Walter's Cove Resort. We limited out on Spring salmon with two caught at 25 lbs. We did not catch any coho with the action spotty early in the season. Our guide, Willy, was skilled and professional. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Dinner was the highlight of the day. A small pet peeve is that you have to buy alcohol for personal consumption, and wine at the lodge is expensive. Our room, no. 1, is above the dining room and noisy at night when guests are still in the common area; the first night was hard to go to sleep. We would like to book a return trip and hope the wind and rough seas we encountered on a couple of afternoons will be calmer. (Stayed July 2018; rooms rated 3/5)

Our group of 4 (from Vancouver, Toronto and Lyden) met once again at our favourite fishing lodge - Walter's Cove. It is a small lodge filled with tremendous staff that are friendly and more than happy to make your trip as pleasant as possible. We limited out on all species as the guide was intimately knowledgable of the local fishing spots. This is a top service lodge in a beautiful setting amongst a small local community. We are all booked for next year. (Stayed August 2018)

Great Fishing, Great Service, Great Trip
I went to Walters Cove with a group of 14. This was my very first trip of this kind and it exceeded all my expectations. The sleeping accommodations were cozy (a little tight) but comfortable; this is a fishing lodge, not a sleeping lodge. Breakfast was ample, lunches were OK, dinners were excellent, and there were plenty of snacks. The fishing gear was very high quality and the Grady White boats were superb, comfortable even in rough water. My partner and I limited out on kings, coho, ling, halibut and rock fish, as did most of our group. The guides were experts; my guide Shawn was more than excellent. The salmon BBQ and cultural talk was a great experience. I'll definitely go back. (Stayed August 2018)

Fishing Trip of a Lifetime
I have been fishing all over the world and I would have to say my best days fishing anywhere was at Walters Cove! Salmon, halibut, ling cod and rock cod are all in abundance. Our guide Matthew knows his stuff! On top of the great fishing we enjoyed first class food and service. The scenery is beautiful. We saw killer whales, humpbacks, sea lions and otters. I would recommend this place to anyone and will be returning for years to come. (Stayed September 2018)

Terrific Package - Thank You
I was on an annual fishing trip with friends; it was my first trip to WCR. Attention to detail, terrific staff, friendly hospitality and the quality of fishing set this resort apart from many. Our guide was excellent; hard-working, experienced, diligent, and positive. Fishing and foul weather gear were of high quality. Food was great! Fish processing/freezing, a gear-drying room with personal lockers, a comfortable lodge with lounge/bar and outside deck, and First Nations art throughout added to the quality of the visit. We drove in; the gravel road from Woss to Fair Harbour is in good condition. Wildlife included black bears, eagles, whales, sea otters and sea lions. (Stayed July 2019)

Time of our lives
My wife and I have been fishing for salmon in Campbell River for 15 years but decided to go for halibut. We chose Walter's Cove because we could drive most of the way. Our guide, Darien, met us at Fair Harbour and spent four days helping us catch our limit: 230 pounds of salmon, halibut and ling cod, all butchered, flash frozen and vacuum sealed. So much fish that we had to buy a new freezer in Comox. Cannot say enough about the excellent food, friendly staff, competent management and warm ambience at the lodge. (Stayed July 2019)

Great fishing, accommodations.
We are really glad that we discovered Walters Cove Resort. Everything was great, especially the fishing. The boats were well-maintained with skilled guides willing to fish for different species. Accommodations are clean and comfortable and lodge staff is first rate. The fish averaged a little smaller than some other spots along the west side of Vancouver Island but they were plentiful. My wife and I came home with 134 pounds of fillets. The only negative is that we each gained 3 pounds; too much good food. We are booked for next year! (Stayed July 2019)

Once again heading home with full limits of King Salmon, Halibut, Ling Cod and Rock Fish after another great visit to Walters Cove Resort. I have been a return customer for years. The lodge and staff are absolutely great. The food is first class and rates 5 stars. We are always spoiled by the attention of the staff, and the guides know where to find the fish in all conditions.

Just come back from our annual trip to Walters. The fishing, as usual was great - even for us late raisers (Terry, the manager called us bankers), as still limited out. One day we were back at the dock by 1:30pm as we had already limited out. The guides are friendly and really knowledgeable as most of them live in the area. The entire crew is super friendly and attentive. Our group is already booked for next year!!! (Stayed August 2019)

Great service, people, excellent professionally guided fishing. Lodge provides great food and staff as well.
I've just returned from my 4th stay at the Walter's Cove Lodge. The stay includes room and board, seaplane transport to and from Vancouver, guided fishing boats, and cleaning/flash freezing/boxing your catch. The lodge is a rustic log and timber lodge that houses about 20 guests, clean and well maintained, with a hot tub and pool table on the deck. The staff provide a high level of service. Dinner is as good or better than a top line restaurant in Vancouver or Seattle. An open fire traditional Kyuquot salmon BBQ is prepared by Grandma Daisy. The lodge uses fiberglass Grady Whites; two guests and a guide per boat. The guides have a great knowledge of the area. About 100 lbs of processed fish is packed in boxes. An onsite licensed masseuse started this year. Still one of the best trips I make each year. I've already booked for next year. (Stayed August 2019)

The whole experience was INCREDIBLE!! From the moment our boat landed, staff were there to greet us, help us out of the boat and with our bags. They were friendly, and warm. The meals were so delicious and a testament to the care and love of your chef and the entire kitchen team.

5 Day 4 Night Stay
Had an amazing 5 days at the lodge and on the water. Staff was first class as was the food. It's a smaller lodge so you'll never see probably more than 20 visitors which makes it that much more personable. Guides for fishing are fantastic and 2-3 of you are on 23 ft Grady Whites. Our guide took us out where both my friend and I landed big Halibuts and limits on Ling Cod. The scenery couldn't be more spectacular. The lodge has a nice dining area and a bar upstairs with a pool table, and a hot tub. Rooms have two twin beds and a bathroom shower. This was a bucket list item and Walters Cove did not disappoint.

UNBELIEVABLY AMAZING FLY IN FISHING VANCOUVER ISLAND
It is an incredible experience from the time you arrive in Vancouver. The fly in fishing experience is amazing in itself. The property (on the water) is awesome. The rooms were perfect and the view amazing. Terry, the manager, is great and every aspect of the trip is well organized. 5 days and 4 nights was a perfect amount of time. The food is amazing and the staff accommodate any special wishes. A cultural lesson is given around a campfire while smoking a chinook salmon in traditional local custom. Me and my two sons had dreamed about a fly in fishing experience in Canada for 12 years. You have your own boat with very experienced captains; our captain, Rebel, was the most fun, entertaining and great fisherman we have ever fished with. We caught our limits of chinook and fish were filleted and frozen each day. I could not more highly recommend Walters Cove Resort. (Stayed July 2022; rooms rated 4/5)

Quality fishing experience starts at the top.
Our group has dealt with Terry Schultz for at least ten years before CoVid suspended most travel. We were finally able to reunite for five days of excellent fishing and camaraderie. The lodge was nearly identical to those Terry had managed for our previous trips; the boats were upgraded. Each was well outfitted with experienced local guides. The inside staff was excellent with friendly faces and attentive service. Meals were excellent with a lot of variety. My fish arrived home in good shape after over 24 hours of travel. We had the best weather in years. (Stayed August 2022)

Walter's Cove Resort
Our trip to Walter's Cove checked off the last item on my bucket list and was by far my favorite fishing experience in 51 years of mostly salt water fishing. Terry, the general manager, brought all the aspects of the experience together, the staff quietly insured that fabulous food was always available (dinners are spectacular), the lodge is pleasingly unique, clean and comfortable. The fishing boats are top notch Grady Whites, our guide was excellent in all aspects including rigging and the right places to fish. We limited half a day early for Halibut, Ling cod and salmon. Everyone there made us feel welcomed and appreciated; what a great First Nations experience all around. (Stayed July 2023)

Awesome West Coast at Walters Cove
A perfect west coast experience! Fishing was fantastic- we filled our fishing dance card completely and had calm seas and good weather as a bonus. Fished with Sparkles - top guide who really knows the water and was fun to spend time with. Lodge and dock staff top notch. The salmon BBQ with stories by Daisy and a song by Jared was a way to experience some of the local culture. We keep going back to Walters (our 5th trip) because they do it right. (Stayed July 2023)

Loved Walters Cove Resort
My spouse and I just returned from our second 5-day trip to Walters Cove Resort. This was the first time at the new floating resort and we loved it. Terry the General Manager runs an efficient operation. We got our limit of four Spring salmon per person ranging from 12 to 20 pounds, four coho each in the 5-9 pound range, four lingcod total, and three halibut on the final day (largest 25 pounds). Fish were vacuum sealed to request. We had a small but clean room with two twin beds and a small balcony. Breakfast was a full buffet; dinner had at least two entree options nightly and portions are big. The bar is huge with a pool table and card tables. Enjoyed the pre-dinner tribal gathering with stories, song and cedar-cooked salmon. We plan a return trip and highly recommend it. (Stayed August 2023)

Good fishing, fine boats, good people. What's not to like?
I visited Walters Cove Resort for the first time in summer 2023, as someone who has ocean fished for salmon in BC every year for 24 years. The Resort is fully guided and my experience with two local First Nations guides was a good one. The boats are stable and spacious, and there are productive protected waters minutes from the lodge. We had little difficulty getting our Chinook limit, and with a little work, our Coho limit. Bottom fish are a bit smaller than where we normally fish in Haida Gwaii and less numerous, but guests have good prospects for limiting out. The Resort has a fish cutting license and a fine flash freezer. Rooms are spacious and well appointed, each with an ensuite bathroom. Dinners are to a good standard and breakfasts ample. We flew in from Richmond/Vancouver which was really convenient. Give it a try! (Stayed July 2023; value rated 4/5)

First Class Experience Which Exceeded Expectations
Our group of 4 did a drive in trip to Walters Cove in the first week of July for four days of fishing. This was my first trip to fish western Vancouver Island. Over the last 30 years I've done 15 guided and unguided salmon trips to lodges on the BC coast including Langara, West Coast Fishing Club, Queen Charlotte Lodge and North King Lodge. Walters Cove exceeded our expectations in every way. Management, staff and guides were unfailingly courteous and helpful. The food was excellent and in the same league as the top Queen Charlotte lodges. The lodge is smaller and more intimate. We fished out of Grady boats, 2 per boat, and the fishing grounds are a 10-20 minute run from the lodge in protected waters. I experienced probably two of my top ten half days with double headers, non stop action and ultimately full limits. The processing and freezing of our catch was flawless. Walter's Cove Resort is a bit of a hidden gem and I will be returning there on my next BC salmon fishing adventure. (Stayed July 2024)

Walter's Grove - A Fishing Paradise and a Paradise with Fish
My wife and I visited Walter's Cove to celebrate her birthday, with friends. From booking through the lodge to being dropped back in Vancouver, our treatment was first class and trouble free. The float plane flight from the South Terminal of YVR was breathtaking; we went from remote wilderness to our front door in a little over 3 hours. Accommodations were comfortable with a little balcony. The staff were wonderful; Terry and Mike ran things like a well-oiled machine, and the chef James and the kitchen staff made delicious meals. The guides were all top-notch. Our guide Michael (Sparkles) was excellent: we limited out on all species we wanted, and my wife got a birthday halibut. The traditional salmon meal on the beach with bannock was a highlight, as were the stories and songs from Grandmother Daisy. Wildlife included sea otters, humpback whales, sea lions and eagles. It is a 5 star fishing experience, in a pristine wilderness setting. (Stayed July 2024)

Walter's Cove Resort Tight Lines
This was our 3rd time at Walter's Cove Resort. My spouse and I were at the lodge last season and in 2018. We had a good time and now have a full freezer of fish with limits on salmon, halibut and lingcod with a few rockfish, too. Terry the GM runs a good operation along with Criss the Assistant Manager on site. Staff are friendly, helpful and service oriented. This year we had Darryl as our guide. We found him personable, fun, safety conscious, punctual, prepared and a passion for fishing. He knows the fishing grounds and put us fish consistently. We were in Room #10 with a balcony and found it clean and certainly comfortable enough for a 5-day fishing trip. Fish processing is customized to your needs. I've been to several lodges in BC and think it is the best in the industry for how we like our fish cut for the freezer and future meals. Breakfast buffet at 5:30am has all you need. Dinner has a variety of entrees and an expanded wine list. We had a productive and safe trip with a good roundtrip flight from SeaAir in Richmond. We are planning to return next season.

Trip of a lifetime.
This is a once in a lifetime trip. The lodge is top notch. The staff is very professional, and will try to take care of any of your needs. The fishing was the best I have ever experienced. The food is 5 star, and is served to you each meal. Your fish will be filleted to your specifications, and then marked, and flash frozen at minus 20 below zero. The guides are very experienced, and will put you on the fish. Two buddy's and myself came home with 80 lbs of fillets each. It was a mix of 4 Chinook, and 4 Coho Salmon, 4 Ling cod, and 1 Halibut. I have been fishing for 60 plus years, and fished for countless species of fish, both Salt and fresh water. I can tell you that this is the best fishing I have ever experienced, and it is worth every penny. (Stayed August 2026; reviewed Sep 2026)
