Guiding has some of the best rivers in our area
reserved for fly fishing enthusiasts, some of
our rivers receive Salmon runs of thousands and
have great fly fishing for all five species of
pacific salmon. We are fortunate to have
steelhead, sea run Dolly Varden, wild rainbows,
wild cutthroat trout and mountain whitefish all
of which are great in their own right and many
times all are found at the same time.

Guiding starts fly fishing as early as January
chasing large wild Rainbows and cutthroat trout
in the Lillooet River. These trout are actively
feeding on the last salmon eggs of the season
and are at their prime after gorging all fall on
salmon eggs and flesh. We target these fish dead
drifting and swinging small attractor patterns,
glo bugs and small nymphs.

With the
beginnings of spring nearing and our waters
warming up we begin to focus more of our
attention to swinging flies for steelhead. Our
steelheads have an affliction for intruder style
flies and they slam them with authority. Its one
of the reasons most winter steelhead fisherman
are out braving the often cooler weather. We
predominantly fish double handed rods for our
steelhead but if you want you can target them
with a single hander as well. The best time for
steelhead fishing is from February to the end of
May. During the month of May most of our rivers
are open to fly fishing only, this is a great
time of year as we see less people on the river
and we get great weather.
As summer
approaches we focus more on the salmon that
begin to migrate back to our rivers. All the
rivers we fish receive all five species and they
are available any time from July to November. If
you have never fished for salmon on the fly you
would be best to venture to B.C. during the
month of October as this is the month that all
five pacific salmon are present in the river.
This gives the angler the thrill of fighting
many fish and never really certain what it is
until is near the hand. The fall is the best
time for the novice fisherman to come and enjoy
casting for salmon as the fishing is easy and
the fish are aggressive.
