Book a Fishing Trip
More than 1500 fish-bearing lakes
The calm water ripples a moment as your
perfect cast lays gently on its surface. The sun, low at your back, casts a
long shadow towards where your fly dangles, enticing.
Suddenly your rod nods gently towards fly . .
. once . . . twice. A sharp pull with a steady hand and the cool water explodes
in a flash of silver. You have hooked your first wild Rainbow of the day.
The many lakes that surround Vanderhoof were
largely left behind in the wake of receding glaciers at the end of the last ice
age. You will find them the site of some of the greatest fishing available.
Species
Bountiful Rainbow (1-9 lb), and Eastern Brook
Trout (1-6 lb), make fishing exciting and rewarding whether you catch to eat or
release.
