FLY FISHING WILD RAINBOW TROUT IN BC

A VARIETY OF LAKES

Expect to find some of the best wild Kamloops rainbow trout fly fishing in the province of British Columbia at Thuya Lakes Lodge. The lakes range in elevation from 3800 to 5400 feet ensuring good angling throughout the season – from June until September.

Thuya Lakes Lodge is the only one in the area, and with over 30 small, well managed mountain lakes to choose from, you will certainly be assured of privacy.

Varying in size and deepness – most are under a mile long with an average depth of 45 feet – all self-spawn with BC's wild Kamloops trout .

The geography of the area is smaller mountainous with heavily forested wilderness areas surrounding.

We stress catch and release trout fishing on most of our waters – however, some are overpopulated with smaller trout and need harvesting to maintain an acceptable level of larger catches.

More challenging trophy stillwaters produce 3 to 4 pounders, with the odd “lunker” up to 8 pounds for the patient and expert fly fisherman.

We have not allowed the use of gas motors or use of tackle such as “gangtrolls” for many years, and promoted fly fishing long before it became popular. There is ample feed, and the hatches are spectacular!

“I can think of no place more beautiful on a summer evening, with rainbow trout jumping like raindrops on the waters surface... A fish that will battle you with every ounce of strength he has. These are the fish of Thuya Lakes.”

We supply boats or canoes on 18 lakes. The waters not serviced by lodge boats are usually fished with float tubes. We ensure that there are only 2 - 4 persons on a lake at one time. None of our waters have any resorts or private dwellings on them.

Important Note: Except for the two lodge lakes, all others are not directly accessible by vehicle - only by hiking or ATV.
