Autumn’s here, and so are the fish! Water temperature is 10°C, with air temperatures ranging from 6°C to 18°C. The river has just gone through its peak spawning period for sockeye salmon. Leaving excess nutrients (Flesh & Eggs) abundant within the river.
Those excess nutrients provide the food staple for our transient trout in the watershed, which capitalize on the abundance. We’ve had excellent success rates this week in finding Cutthroat, Cutbow, Rainbow & Bulltrout! Along with the flesh and eggs, there’s always a high abundance of sculpins, another trout staple. The most productive method of fishing: single-hand & spey, stripping/swinging streamers.
The Pitt River Lodge is Vancouver’s hidden retreat and British Columbia’s premier fly fishing destination for the discerning angler. Our rustic getaway sits in the isolated backcountry just northeast of downtown Vancouver, British Columbia. Enjoy a family getaway, or plan an executive retreat as you join some of the finest guides in the world to pursue coho, sockeye, pink, steelhead, coastal cutthroat, rainbow and bull trout.
Come fish with us!
