Super Natural British Columbia at its best. Join us at Northern Lights Lodge for exciting dry fly fishing on up to three different rivers that are so diverse and beautiful you will think you are in a different part of the world each time!
What Makes It Unique
- Located on Quesnel Lake, the deepest fresh water fjord in the world. The watershed in this area is one of the purest, natural trout habitats found anywhere.
- Nearby rivers are home to a unique strain of large, aggressive, wild native Girard Rainbow Trout, which do not spawn until they are seven years old and do not go through the stress of spawning during this period, so become very aggressive in order to survive in their completely natural environment.
- A one hour flight from Vancouver.
