Current Report
Looking for some of the
best dry fly-fishing action
in North America ?
If so, the Elk River has what
you are looking for.
The Elk River &
tributaries are home to a
thriving healthy native
cutthroat trout population,
with amazing stonefly,
mayfly, and caddis fly
hatches all summer long.
This year the Elk River will
be at it's prime with higher
water levels from our amazing
snow pack, and the Dry Fly
action will be
spectacular.
Fishing Details
- The Elk River & tributaries
are now open for Angling for
the 2002 season.
- All flowing waters in
Region 4 are single barbless
hook only
- If fishing from "out of
province" or "out of country"
please sanitize your
equipment before entering the
water to prevent the spread
of whirling disease
- Please practice "Catch N'
Release" so they will be
there to catch again !!!

Fishing Report
The Elk River level is only
slightly above the average
and continues to drop. The
clarity is amazing with
visibility clearing to the
bottom in 4+ feet of water.
As the river level keeps
dropping the fishing will
only get better as the fish
begin to stack up in the
larger, deeper pools. The
tributaries are all clear and
fishing well. Over the last
week hatches have been a
little sparse, however many
forms of mayflies have been
hatching so any mayfly
imitation has been working
well. As always, nymphs and
streamers also have been
successful.
