Rivers Inlet

RIVERS INLET is well known for the best Salmon and Halibut fishing in the world. The world's largest Salmon (127 lbs.) was caught in the Rivers Inlet area and also Halibut more than 150 lbs. A guest from Big Spring caught a 132 lb. Halibut with a standard Salmon mooching rod and reel some years ago.

In 2007 a new record was made by a Big Spring guest with a 143 lbs Halibut

Almost every year the largest Salmon is caught in Rivers Inlet - this year a 85lbs only a short distance away from Big Spring Resort!

With our 'Rivers Inlet / Hakai Pass Sportsfishing Association' we have our own private Hatchery and provide every year hundreds of thousands of Salmon into the waters of Rivers Inlet!
