July-September

Packages from $2700 USD

SUMMER RIVERS

Two anglers per guide on some of the most beautiful freestone rivers in BC. Walk, wade, jet boat, and drift through prime dry fly water. Early summer caddis and July stonefly hatches keep fish looking up — until the salmon begin staging in late August. Suitable for all skill levels.
Sept- October 15th

5 Days/6 Nights $5000 USD

AUTUMN RIVERS

Sockeye salmon return to our rivers in September, and the big rainbow trout and bull trout follow. We target them with egg patterns, streamers, and dry flies behind the spawning fish. Grizzly bears and eagles on the bank are part of the experience. Our most sought-after season. Suitable for all skill levels.
May-July
Angler holding Horsefly strain rainbow trout on remote stillwater lake, BC interior
Packages from $2100 USD

STILLWATER

We go where others won’t. Pontoon boat trips on remote trophy lakes from May through mid-October. We target both native and stocked rainbow trout, with spring and fall offering the best dry fly fishing. Lake trout and bull trout outings also available. Suitable for all skill levels.

World-Class Rainbow Trout

Our rivers are home to some of the most aggressive rainbow trout in the world — 100% native, never stocked. As closely related to steelhead as a rainbow trout can be, they are especially eager to eat dry fly patterns throughout the majority of our season. In the fall, we target them with egg patterns, streamers, and dry flies behind the spawning salmon. Want to catch a rainbow on a mouse? We’d be disappointed if you only caught one.

BIG BC BULL TROUT

Bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) are a prized native char and an indicator species for healthy cold-water ecosystems — we’re fortunate to have them here in abundance. Well fed and aggressive, our bull trout are quite possibly the largest you’ll find anywhere in North America. If bull trout are on your bucket list, you’re in the right place.

“Picture yourself standing in untouched water in the middle of the wilderness with trout dancing around your fly. You stop for a moment to look around and realize that you find yourself right in the middle of Eden fishing for world class wild native rainbow trout.”
