BRITISH COLUMBIA

Fly-Fishing has always been popular on the lakes and streams of Vancouver Island. Whether the focus is on trout, bass or the wily steelhead, fly-fishing is popular throughout the twelve months of the year.

Freshwater Fishing- An airplane flight over Vancouver Island reveals an absolute myriad of fresh water lakes, streams and rivers, most accessible; most containing rainbow trout, cutthroat trout, brown trout, steelhead and/or bass, just to name a few.
Lake fishing tends to be most successful shortly after spring thaw right through until the autumn freeze-up in the higher lakes. In the low lakes, fishing is best in the spring and autumn months. Steelhead fishing can be good during the summer months in some river systems, however the peak runs tend to be during the fall, winter and spring months. Most lake and river systems are accessible to differing degrees and there are always licensed guides and outfitters available to ensure a safe, quality outdoor experience. Always consult the rules and regulations of the current Department of Fisheries and Oceans book when planning your next fishing trip to Vancouver Island.
