Flyfishing Gear Review

If your planning on visiting the area we are centrally located in the beautiful B.C. interior. This vast wilderness area is the Omineca region serviced by the City of Prince George considered the hub and gateway to the north. The Community of Vanderhoof is to the west and the City of Quesnel in the Cariboo region to the south.

The regions rivers and lakes support a variety of gamefish ranging from rainbow trout, brook trout, artic grayling and dolly varden, it is also a spawning destination for sockeye salmon.

Many of the stillwaters are in the couple hundred acre range, just perfect for pontoon boat and floattube flyfishing. The lakes are rich in insect life with prolific stillwater hatches of chironomids, damselflies and mayflies. The shoals also contain an abundance of dragon nymphs, shrimp, caddis and leeches. The rainbow lakes are usually ice free the first week of May in the Omineca and the first week of April in the Cariboo, mother nature permitting.

Recreational camping and the diversity of wildlife is an added bonus for the outdoor enthusiast, there are numerous forestry campsites, provincial parks or private lakeside retreats to enjoy. With hundreds of productive lakes and rivers to choose from, it would take a lifetime to visit and fish them all. Take a look at the slideshows to get a feel for the place, or better yet come and visit this beautiful area in person. Thanks for dropping by. See ya on the water. Lewis
