Our last trip treated us to a two ended rainbow, quite spectacular as seen from the lodge. Our season began on a high note and like the rainbow ended likewise. With guests saying farewell for another year, our crew now thinking of home, school, loved ones and travel, the seasons change once again. The weather […]
As we welcome the first of our group of Swedish and Canadian friends, Stig, Lars and Mike into the Decade Club, we reflect on the time together. Time seems to stand still here in Hakai, so when you step off the plane on the arrival day it feels like no time has passed and it […]
What a terrific year for Chinook and what a great year for Tyee. This year I will likely need to re-order our coveted Ole’s Hakai Pass pins handed out for Tyee. Last night saw 4 more handed out to Mario de Ferrari, Sam Conde Jr., Cruz Apestegui and Battesimo Palamara (his first salmon ever and […]

The crew here at Ole’s do put in long days and some late nights during the season. With guest change-over twice a week, fish processing, boxing and maintaining the Lodge at the end of the shift the crew needs to rest up for the next day. But there always seems to be someone up early […]
The Ole’s crew rocks SPY Optics sunglasses. Have a look at the crew showing off the latest in SPY Optics compliments or Myrosha Daley. Myrosha was here with his bro Sascha on the last trip and as the BC rep for Spy Optics layed some on the Crew. Talk about Happy lens, this crew is […]
First full day of their trip and the Dominican group has snagged the largest fish of the season ! Domingo Viyella Jr and Battesimo Palamara Hermida were in the right place at the right time this morning. Right on low slack at the Racetrack and wham, the chinook takes it down, down down and away. […]
We have a great mix of young and young at heart, returning and new guests, experienced and novice anglers with us this trip and everyone seems to be doing very well. Great bite on at the Racetrack, followed by another at Bayley and then Kelpie and back to the Racetrack. Even the crew are getting […]
