Current Report
We offer some excellent
angling opportunities for
sea-run trout, steelhead,
resident and sea-run Bull
trout, Cutthroat trout and
Rainbow trout. Some of the
best trout fishing occurs
during early spring, summer
and fall on both rivers and
lakes in the Vancouver and
Merritt area's. We fish for
Bull Trout or Dolly Varden
as they are often referred
to, rainbows & cutthroat on
several remote rivers and we
offered stillwater fly
fishing for rainbow trout in
the Merritt /Kamloops area.
Feb to April - is good for
resident Bull Trout,
Cutthroat and the
occassional Rainbow. Water
levels are consistently low
as most of our local rain
turns into snow in the
Alpine glaciers. These
resident fish are much
smaller than their sea-run
cousins in June but they can
offer some steady action for
anglers looking for some
adventure. Size ranges from
10 to 16 inches with the odd
fish up to 20 inches. There
is alway a chance at hooking
into a surprise steelhead as
they begin to enter the
system in early March.
May 15 to July 15 - is peak
fly fishing for sea-run Bull
Trout on the Upper Pitt
River. These fish enter the
Upper river from the lake
heading for thier spawning
ground in Garabladi Park.
These fish are chrome bright
and full of fight. Size
ranges from 3 to 10 lbs with
lots of fish in the 4-6 lb
range. Some of the larger
fish can reach as much as
14lbs. This is one of
British Columbia's Premier
fisheries with limited
access and a wilderness
experience. We also target
Cutthroat on the Fraser &
Harrison Rivers as trout
feeding on salmon fry
migrating back to the ocean
Currently the local rivers
are fishing well for
steelhead and trout. As
water temperatures increase,
fly fishing improves. We
expect good fly fishing in
our region from February
onwards.
Conserve your catch
