Fly Fishing around Fernie B.C.

Fernie B.C. which is just 14 kms from Island Lake Lodge is one of the top “Dry-Fly” Fishing destinations in the world. The Elk River runs right through town and is full of Westslope Cutthroat Trout and Bull Trout. The Elk holds the largest population of Westslope Cutthroat left on the continent and if you know anything about them, you know they love to eat off the surface. Dry Fly Fishing is considered by many to be the pinnacle of sport fishing...kinda like catskiing deep dry powder is the pinnacle of skiing! You can use a drift boat or walk and wade various sections of this spectacular river and its tributaries. The best months are usually July, August and September. Call to inquire about Island Lake's fly fishing packages. Here are a few images from the area to get you excited about your next fly fishing adventure!
