Northern Lights Lodge specializes in guided fly fishing vacations on world-class rivers in BC, Canada! Experience catching wild native Rainbow trout that have likely never been caught before.

This unique strain of Rainbow Trout do not spawn until they are seven to eight years old. That means they do not go through the stress of spawning during this period. In fact, they do nothing but grow, requiring them to become voracious feeders in order to survive in their completely natural environment. They live to be 12 to 13 years old and have been described by Fishery Biologists as being a "landlocked Steelhead".

With 4 wild rivers to fish in from mid-June to mid-October, their professional guides focus on four magnificent rivers in the Cariboo Mountains of British Columbia, Canada. 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. However, they do have a lodge record of a 37-inch Rainbow caught on one of our prime rivers in September using an egg pattern. The Cariboo River produces Rainbow Trout up to 20 inches. And, being a glacial water body, it also offers Bull Trout into the mid 30-inch range.

In late July, they begin guided fly fishing on the incredible Mitchell River. The Mitchell River is home to some of the largest most aggressive Wild Native Rainbow Trout in the world. This is a 'clear' glacial river that produces very large Bull Trout in a wilderness setting that is second to none. A six to eight weight rod with zero X tippet is highly recommended. That said, you will still have many of your hooked fish... well... just leave. (If you don't have a rod that large, they do have loaners available at no charge.) Get ready for plenty of hook-ups, an abundance of wildlife and a wonderful experience you will not forget!

If you are looking for large numbers of large fish, try fishing egg patterns &amp; streamers behind spawning salmon in Sept &amp; early Oct. This is a time to cast amid the spectacle of spawning salmon! The Quesnel Lake watershed is host to one of the largest Sockeye Salmon runs in the world. The Sockeye begin their journey at the mouth of the Fraser River in Vancouver &amp; swim north approx. 500 miles to Quesnel Lake. Migrating through Quesnel Lake the Salmon draw large Rainbow and Bull Trout from the lake up the tributaries where the spawn takes place. The Horsefly River and Mitchell River, being two dominant Sockeye runs in this system, attract the largest number of trophy Rainbow and Bull Trout.
