Default Fly Fishing in Canada


Hi Guys, me & a few pals fancy the idea of fly fishing for trout in Canada.
Does anyone know the best way to go about booking a 7 day all inc trip, for the right money?

Your question is almost impossibly broad. Canada is the second largest country in the world in terms of land area and it has fishing opportunities that are endless to the tenth power.

I think you'd get better answers if you'd give more specifics:

- What kind of trout do you want to fish for? Browns, rainbows, brook trout, steelhead, coasters, dolly varden, lake trout, etc.

And yes, yes, yes I know that some of these trout are salmonids and some are actually char, but nevertheless they are all known as trout in Canada. More to the point, they all provide fantastic sport on the fly rod.

- Where and how do you wish to fish? River or lake? Boat/canoe fishing? Wading?

- Any specifics as to the kind of setup you'd prefer. All inclusive is a very broad category, are you looking for a road-accessible lodge, fly-in lodge, outpost camp, water-accessible-only camp/lodge, etc?

Personally, whenerver I'm going to a different country or geographical region to fish, I look at the fishing and overall experience that uniquely belongs to that country or at the fishing they do best. Sight fishing big browns in NZL, Atlantic salmon in Scotland, stripers on the east cost of the US, redfish on the Gulf Coast of the US, steelhead in BC, Atlantics in Quebec, etc, etc.

I think one thing worth considering would be a fly-in trip to do a uniquely Canadian form of brook trout fishing. There is some biblical brook trout fishing in the far north of Labrador. They fish vast "rivers" which are actually huge chains of lakes with only moderate current flow for whopper brook trout and depending on your timing, much of it is on the dry fly. The lodges are nice, but not luxury because most camps operate many,many dozens of miles from any roads, but everything you need is there.

But as I said, more specifics as to what you want will give you better answers I'd think.

...although to be fair, I'm in Toronto on business and only have one day free, thus massively restricting where I can get to. That's why I'm going to the River Credit, which is only about an hour away. Ah, to have a whole week to roam Canada with a fishing rod.....

Anyway, do let us know what you find out, and where you eventually go!

Cheers

Default Fly fishing in Canada

Hi bobbyb14me,
I do a fully guided trip Trout fishing through the Rockies each year, i have done this trip loads of times and start off in Calgary fishing the Bow (regarded as one of the best Trout river in Canada), then throught the Rockies with float tubing some of the Kamloops lakes and Rocky mountain streams.
I think i am the only person that does this trip, and the guys that where with me last year are all coming again this year.
Timing is important, Snow Run off and all the other factors, PM me if you are interested or just want some advice, its one of the nicest routes in Canada, the scenery is just breathtaking.
I live up in freezin cold Scotland, but do this trip a few times each year, and have float tubes , rods ect in Calgary at a guides house.
Thanks Gordon.
P.S i only do this trip for 3 or 4 guys a week, small groups only.
