<span style="font-weight: 400;">Northern Lights Lodge specializes in guided fly fishing for world renown “Quensel” rainbow trout! This unique strain of Rainbow Trout do not spawn until they are seven to eight years old. This  allows them to avoid the stress of spawning and focus on growth. With no distractions, they do nothing but eat and grow. With high numbers of trout per mile the competitive nature of the rainbow trout has turned these usually selective fish into voracious feeders. Quensel rainbow trout also live to be 12 to 13 years old, much older than most other rainbow trout. They have been described by Fishery Biologists as being a "landlocked Steelhead".</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">With the best river fishing taking place </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">from mid-June to mid-October, NLL’s professional guides focus on four magnificent rivers in the Cariboo Mountains of British Columbia. During the warm summer months, these unique rivers produce some of the finest Rainbow Trout dry fly fishing on the planet. Let them introduce you to the Horsefly River, Cariboo River, Quesnel River and Mitchell River. The Mitchell, Horsefly and Quesnel Rivers all produce a beautiful bright colored Rainbow Trout that can crowd the 30-inch range. For anglers looking for a little diversity, the glacier fed Cariboo river holds large Bull Trout into the mid 30-inch range in addition to rainbows. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Get ready for plenty of hook-ups, an abundance of wildlife and a wonderful experience you will not forget!</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">For the non purist, or the angler that is after BIG fish and LOTS of the, throwing egg patterns &amp; streamers behind spawning salmon in September and early October is deadly. The Quesnel Lake watershed is host to one of the largest Sockeye Salmon runs in the world. Begin their journey at the mouth of the Fraser River in Vancouver, sockeye swim north approximately 500 miles to Quesnel Lake. Migrating through the massive Quesnel Lake, the Salmon draw large Rainbow and Bull Trout from the depths of the lake, up into the tributaries where the spawning takes place. Expect to see multiple 30” rainbow and bull trout trailing behind spawning salmon, chomping eggs as the float by.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">In recent years Skeed and his team have discovered several lakes with incredible stillwater fishing, particularly early in the season. If you have never tried throwing drys or chironomids out of a belly tube or jon boat, give it a go! It's an absolute blast and extremely productive.</span>
