Historic Zeballos
Welcome To The West Coast
Located on the Ehattesaht/Chinehkint First Nation traditional territory, nestled among towering mountains, sits the quaint town of Zeballos. The town was first populated in the early 1930s when gold was discovered in the surrounding hills. It was the richest ore ever to be received by the Tacoma Smelters. The outside world soon took notice of the Zeballos "wonder mine".
Today, Zeballos is world-famous for its other riches, its outstanding and abundant fishing, where you can find salmon, halibut, tuna, snapper, lingcod, prawns, oysters, and more. In addition, the area’s abundant marine life, wildlife, and stunning coastal landscapes invite outdoor enthusiasts to discover and explore. Zeballos sits at the confluence of the Zeballos Inlet and Zeballos River. This region is the perfect gateway to Nootka Sound, Kyuquot Sound and many inlets on the West Coast of Vancouver Island.
While You Are Here
The west coast can be wild! Make sure to bring clothing to suit all weather conditions – sunscreen and sunglasses, as well as warm clothing for layering and a windbreaker/rain jacket. Wear comfortable rubber-soled shoes for on the boat.
Prepare For Sun & Rain
You will want to bring any personal items you will need for the day and a camera for when you hook the big one! If you are an experienced angler, feel free to bring your own equipment (we provide gear for those who do not have their own).
BRINGING YOUR EQUIPMENt
Meals for fishing packages are provided and can be added to B&B packages as well. We have a “Bring Your Own Booze” policy so feel free to bring your own to the Lodge if you desire.
