Naden Lodge

At Naden Lodge we feel a responsibility to protect the salmon and halibut stocks that the north coast has been blessed with. This starts with exhibiting good sportsmanship and conservation and ends with ensuring that those fish retained are handled with care and respect to ensure the product that ends up on your dinner table is the best it can be.

Scientific studies conducted on Haida Gwaii have shown that released fish have a greater than 85 percent chance of survival if properly handled and revived. To help aid in the conservation of fish stocks, we will again this year be offering an incentive to all of our guests to encourage them to voluntarily reduce their retention limits.

Here is How it Works:

			Each guest participating in the program will have their name entered in a draw for a free return trip to the lodge in 2012
			The program is voluntary and there is no obligation to participate
			To participate a guest must voluntarily agree to reduce the number of fish retained to ½ of the legal limit
			This does not reduce the number of fish you can catch, just the number you can keep and take home
			Any guest wanting to participate in the program must state their intention to do so at the beginning of the trip

Each of our boats is equipped with a measuring tape and weight chart to allow a guest releasing a fish the opportunity to determine its weight. The weight charts use a formula based on the length and girth of a fish and have been found to be very accurate.

We look forward to seeing you this summer!!
