Chris & Helen Rose visited Knight Inlet Lodge in the middle of August this year and have been kind enough to share some of their photos with us. In my opinion they are some of the best we have seen in awhile. Thank you Chris & Helen.

Knight Inlet Lodge guide Lori Kublik has kindly supplied us with the following report.
Knight Inlet Lodge asks all guests to fill out comment cards while they are at the lodge viewing grizzlies. We thought you might like to hear some of the things they had to say about their stay. These comments are all from the first couple of weeks in August 2011.
"Wonderful experience, do not change a thing!"
" The food is fabulous. A brilliant trip start to finish"
"The best apple pie ever. All the food was delicious."
"Terrific trip, well organized, the guides were great"
"Excellent- sorry to be leaving, very keen to return"
Christine and Mike P recently stayed with us at Knight Inlet Lodge. On arriving home they were kind enough to email us their thoughts on visiting Knight Inlet Lodge. Here is a few of their comments and photos.

The research project in Glendale Cove that Mel Clapham is running has captured photos of a new grizzly male. Mel has been able to identify him as a returning male from a couple of years ago since he has a distinctive piece of his nose missing. Nicknamed Diablo by our staff the first time he appeared it will be interesting to see how long he stays in our area. The photos in this blog are of another of our grizzly males with the rather fancy nickname of Pretty Boy. The photos are from one of Mel's research cameras, we appreciate her sharing them with us.

What a wonderful experience!!
Our visit to Knight Inlet Lodge was the 2 days of our Canadian holiday we were most looking forward to & it did not disappoint.
From the moment we were met at Campbell River airport by Harold, the Knight Inlet Lodge shuttle driver everything was perfect. The information Harold shared on what lay ahead only magnified our excitement level.
Knight Inlet Lodge is actively working to improve the salmon stocks on the Glendale River. One project towards this end is the fry monitoring program that we operate from late February until early May. The purpose of this project is to count pink salmon fry as they move down the river towards the ocean. We accomplish this by positioning a RST (rotary screw trap) in the river. This system allows us to catch a portion of the escaping fry without harming them in any way.

PAULINE & IAN ANDERSON, ENGLAND - OCTOBER 2010.
Me and my six months pregnant wife spent 3 days at the Lodge. Every part of the trip was great. The seaplane flight was amazing (like in the movies). Very friendly and relaxing atmosphere in a secluded location. The organised activities were excellent and most were suitable to any fitness level. Food ..... oh my God!!! Michelin star. You can´t get seafood much fresher. Still missing those Dungeness Crabs and the prawns. Knowledge of the local area and wildlife was excellent. We were very privilege in being in such a great isolated and beautiful location.
