FLY FISHING ADVENTURE BEGINS HERE
WELCOME TO FLYGUIDE.CA
We’ve been making fly anglers dreams reality for over 25yrs, guiding guests from around the world into Steelhead, Salmon & Trout in British Columbia. Flyfishing has been our passion since we can remember:) We guide year round throughout BC from Vancouver Island to the Skeena & Nass regions offering both all inclusive trips starting at $2500 Canadian, to guided day trips starting as low as $475 Canadian. We are at the best places at the best times to offer you great flyfishing opportunities. We cater to single anglers & groups and can offer you our accommodations, or recommend suitable lodging for other locations we guide.
TARGETED SPECIES
SUMMER STEELHEAD
June - October
Starting in late June our first Summer Steelhead arrive. These fish typically like to travel into the upper reaches and tributaries of our watersheds. The Vancouver Island fly-fishing locations are mostly pristine gin-clear waters with pools & runs one dreams about. This perfect fly-water is great for casting & dead-drifting large dry-flies into. When one of these chrome wild fish come to your fly hold on! This fly-fishery is without a doubt one of the best in the world!
SALMON
July - November
Pink Salmon are the first to arrive in mid July. We start targeting these fish on our ocean beaches. Schools of them can be found cruising near the shoreline and are highly aggressive to a stripped fly! They are easy targets and great fighters averaging 4 pounds. They are also great fun in our rivers when they first arrive and are still chrome. Our Coho salmon (silvers) can be found from Aug - Nov and can be fished the same as the pinks in both the Ocean & river. They are 8 pounds on average, very acrobatic and a real challenge to land. On occassions we also target Chum and King salmon when suitable. These fish are more than a hand full when hooked.
WINTER/SPRING STEELHEAD November - April
There's nothing like hooking a sea bright Winter Steelhead. The rivers of Vancouver Island are flowing larger than average during this season, drawing in these fish from the ocean from late November through till April. There are highlights throughout the season in specific watersheds with the proper water conditions that will reward you with the greatest sports fish Vancouver Island has to offer. We like to use two handed rods and large flies to search out these fish, and often float several kilometres river a day through remote areas to find Bright waters with bright fish. We will then move north to the Skeena region during late April through May for the same fish that arrive in spring season. Similar waters as Vancouver Island with the same style fishing can produce some of the largest coastal Steelhead BC has to offer. In the mix of this Spring season there is also early spring salmon arriving which are willing to take the same flies. This can be a massive surprise while swinging for steelhead.
TROUT
Dolly Varden, Sea-Run Cutthroat & Rainbows can all be found around Vancouver Island. We can specifically target these fish but also encounter them while fishing for Salmon & steelhead. Our most unique trout fishery is targeting Sea-Run Cutthroat on our ocean beaches.
