Detailed Reviews
I spent two consecutive trips for 11 days fishing with my 13 year old son. Then, It was so awesome that I book another trip for an additional week and brought my older son and several friends for it.
Fishing was superb, service at the docks (you drive and fish by yoursel, on 2-3 persons at a time 16’ boat with a 40 hp yamaha engine, very comfortable and seaworthy). Hospitality service as well as food and drinks were also great.
I would definitely recommend this fishing lodge, built on top of a big barge, with all imaginable services available and a hardworking and capable crew. Just the scenery of the area is worth the trip.

I have visited Ole's at least 10 times since the 1980's. In that time the lodge has grown a bit from the original, but this is still the best lodge on the coast for the serious fisherman - someone who spends 10 to 12 hours on the water every day. Like me. It is located on legendary Hakai Pass and is mere minutes from fantastic fishing for springs and cohoes. There is also one other thing to keep in mind: the lodge is 20 minutes away from Odlum Point where the largest salmon ever taken on rod and reel was caught - a giant 88 pounds. You fish all day with your coolers full of food and beverages, then come back to the most wonderful cuisine for dinner. Meanwhile the crew, who are so helpful you can't believe it, take extra special care of your catch, cleaning, vacuum-packing,and freezing it for your trip home. In July and August the salmon runs are frequent and big. I cannot think of anything I would complain about at Ole's except after your time is up you have to leave and go home, so some other lucky fishermen can take your spot. But you can always come back next year. And so many guests do. Tip: Book early!

Since 2003 I have visited Ole's Hakai pass FIshing Lodge every year (except 2004). I will continue to do so for years to come. The lodge is located in a built-up barge that is placed in location during the fishing season. The barge has two seperate buildings, one is living room, kitchen and dinning area. The other building houses 4 single occupancy rooms and 10 double occupancy rooms. It has a large deck with a hot tub and hammacks. While the rooms are comfortable, service and fishing is what they excel at. Each 2 guests are assigned their own boat and fishing is unguided but advice is there if needed. There is a staff member in a bigger boat that circulates around the fishing areas, offering fresh bait and assitance if required. There are 5 to 6 great fishing spots just minutes from the lodge. Food is superb and General Manager Ernie is a great host that will spend lot's of time with the guests. The crew is young, energetic and polite. If you go once, you are bound to return.
