Knight Inlet carves an eighty-mile-long fjord through the remote Coast Range of Mountains, terminating at the base of Mt. Waddington, the highest mountain entirely within British Columbia. This vast wilderness area, part of the Great Bear Rainforest, is characterized by towering mountains rising directly from the sea, cascading waterfalls, and a rich ecosystem. The region is accessible only by boat or float plane, offering a pristine and secluded saltwater fishing experience amidst abundant wildlife including grizzly bears, black bears, bald eagles, and orcas. The inlet's complex shoreline, numerous adjacent sounds like Thompson and Bond Sound, and the archipelago of islands create a diverse marine environment renowned for its productivity.

The estuaries and mud flats at the heads of inlets are productive, especially on tidal exchanges.
