01 The Trip

Summer Solstice on the outer coast.

Experience the longest days of the year on British Columbia's rugged northwest coast during peak Chinook season. This guided adventure takes you to productive outer-coast waters where long daylight hours create more time to fish, explore, and take in the wild shoreline around Prince Rupert.

Guests stay onboard the Northern Monarch, offering comfortable vessel-based lodging close to the fishing grounds and a true West Coast experience between outings. As the short summer nights settle in, watch for bioluminescence in the water, enjoy the quiet of the coast, and keep an eye out for whales, seabirds, and other marine life.

Hosted by Oots'n Reconnection Services Inc., the trip combines guided fishing, coastal travel, and place-based knowledge in West Coast Indigenous Territory — well suited for anglers and adventurous travelers looking for a meaningful, immersive experience on the water.
