Description Author Details Billy Proctor, resident legend of Echo Bay, BC, recounts almost a century's worth of experience with this collection of stories, memories and local knowledge of the central BC coast region around Blackfish Sound. Access to Blackfish Sound is from the following nearby communities on Vancouver Island and islands in Broughton Strait:.
The tiny town is a major destination during the summer months, when the snug little bay bustles with boaters, anglers, campers, kayakers and whale-watchers. Sointula , Malcolm Island Fishing is the mainstay of the economy of the small, picturesque fishing village of Sointula, but tourism is rapidly gaining importance as travellers seek out the clean air, clear waters, and the outdoor fishing, whale watching and scuba diving opportunities offered on Malcolm Island.
In addition to enjoying the rich cultural heritage of the island, visitors can enjoy many activities such as fishing, whale watching, eco-tours, kayaking, hiking and biking. Adjacent to Blackfish Sound to the north is the wonderful Broughton Archipelago Marine Provincial Park , a wilderness area consisting of a maze of several small islands, numerous islets and adjacent foreshore at the southern extremity of Queen Charlotte Strait , off the west coast of Gilford Island.
The islands in the marine park are undeveloped and are largely undiscovered. Facilities are limited to a day-use recreation. The numerous remote, solitary islands incorporated in the park provide unlimited and unique fishing and swimming opportunities, and are fabulous for exploring by kayak. Nestled in the rainforests of Northern Vancouver Island, Hidden Cove Lodge is an ocean front, eco-friendly lodge, situated on the Johnstone Strait, 20 minutes from the boardwalk Village of Telegraph Cove.
Hidden Cove Lodge has 8 fully-accommodated rooms, a licensed dining room, and 2 self-contained oceanview cottages for those seeking complete privacy. Kayak to Robson Bight to view killer whales, or watch black bear, deer and river otter from our patio.
Disconnect from the world by escaping to our little off-the-grid paradise, where our wind, solar and generator-powered lodge and oceanside cottages will leave you feeling refreshed and relaxed while at the same time allowing you to experience our breathtaking scenery and have some amazing wildlife encounters.
We want you to fall in love with kayaking and our unique coast, and our passion shows in everything we do. In the past five summers the midden and the old village site have been heavily impacted. And take the time to soften our impact on the overall area. We must treat this site Mound Island with respect and the sensitivity that will ensure a future for us all.
And practice, "the pack in and pack it out" policy and we will all be able to enjoy this area now and in the future. Blackfish Sound is effected by strong currents. Weather moves in and out of this Sound with an accompanying northwest or southeast wind. Waters from Blackfish Sound connect to Johnstone Strait through Blackney Passage an area where we should navigate our passage at slack tide and kayak along the Harbledown side of the passage. Expect a steady amount of marine traffic during most of the summer.
Remember to monitor Channel 71 Victoria Traffic before entering this passage.
