The Coastal Cutthroat Run: A Springtime Spectacle

Coastal cutthroat trout are some of the most aggressive and hard-fighting fish in BC’s rivers. As they follow baitfish and insects upstream in mid-March through April, they provide non-stop action for fly anglers. These fish are eager to take streamers, nymphs, and dries, making them an exciting target for any skill level.

Expect explosive strikes, acrobatic fights, and stunning fish, often adorned with vibrant orange-red gill slashes. This is hands-down one of the best spring fly fishing opportunities in BC!

Chasing Trophy Bull Trout in Remote Waters

If you’re looking for something bigger and meaner, bull trout in the Pemberton area will not disappoint. These apex predators are at their peak in the spring, aggressively feeding on smaller fish. Some true giants lurk in these waters, with fish well over 30 inches not uncommon.

Bull trout love big streamers, swung or stripped through deep runs. Whether you’re fishing a single-handed or two-handed setup, be ready for the hardest hits of the season. There’s nothing like watching a massive bull trout chase down your fly and hammer it in crystal-clear water!
