Fishing in remote areas is your passion? Come to the Fishing Highway in British Columbia. Even fully booked our area is still nice and quiet, especially if your not staying on one of the bigger lakes and take your belly boat, small aluminum boat or canoe into one of the smaller lakes in our rolling mountains.

More than 150 great fishing lakes in the Interlakes area and even more along the rest of the Fishing Highway are being regularly stocked with Rainbow Trout, Lake Trout and Kokanee.

The high water quality and the availability of enough natural food guarantees great tasting fish. In some of the remoter lakes you are able to catch Rainbow Trout with flesh that is almost as red as the flesh of Salmon.

Surrounded by all those great lakes it's no wonder that our guests choose a different lake each time. And most of them are within a 10 minute drive.

Wether you choose to fly fish or troll or whatever your favourite fishing style may be, you can be sure to able to do so here.

Fly fishing from the shores of a lake, along the creek or in the belly boat it's all possible. You want to bring your big boat? Public boat launches on the big lakes make it possible to bring 'em in. Usually we recommend to bring a smaller aluminum boat 12' or 14'. This makes it possible to go to the smaller lakes and remoter lakes, where you will find the angler's paradise. The trout you catch may at times only weigh 2 lbs. but tastes outstandingly good.

We prepared some lake facts and some of the best fishing spots around the Fishing Highway here for you. These are only a few. Check back throughout the year to see updatet fishing spots.
