ORVIS ENDORSED NORTHERN LIGHTS LODGE

Fly from most U.S.cities in the morning & find yourself enjoying hors d'oeuvres and cocktails at Northern Lights Lodge in the same afternoon.

A one hour flight from Vancouver, B.C. on a commercial carrier brings you to Williams Lake, B.C. where we will meet you for a scenic one hour drive back to the lodge or drive 380 miles North from Vancouver through the scenic Fraser Canyon right to our lodge. An easy and enjoyable seven hour drive through beautiful country on good, safe roads.

This wilderness eco-system you are about to experience is comprised of world-class Blue Ribbon fly fishing rivers renowned for some of the largest, most agressive, wild native Rainbow and Bull Trout on the planet! It is unlikely you will see another fisher on these waters with the exception of your fellow guests from Northern Lights Lodge.

Dry Fly Fishing at it's best. Beginning in mid June with an exceptional Golden Stonefly & Caddis hatch we dry fly fish through out the summer to mid September matching numerous diverse hatches that these wild rainbow trout thrive on.
Join us at Northern Lights Lodge for exciting dry fly fishing on up to four different rivers that are so diverse and beautiful you will think you are in a different part of the world each time!

The Mitchell River, Quesnel River, Horsefly River, Cariboo River, Quesnel Lake and the surrounding waters are home to a unique strain of large, aggressive wild native Rainbow Trout and hard fighting Bull Trout. This unique strain of Girard Rainbow Trout do not spawn until they are seven years old, do not go through the stress of spawning during this period & do nothing but grow & have to become very agressive  in order to survive in their completely natural enviroment.

Why our Rainbow & Bull Trout are among the largest of their species in the world:

27 inch Rainbow

The spawning Sockeye & King Salmon that enter this watershed every year release nutrients that not only attract a large number of large trout but also a variety of BC wildlife such as Grizzly & Black Bears to tiny Weasels & every native carnivore in between. While Eagles are prevalent all year, guests visiting in September & October are awestruck by the dozens upon dozens of these magnificent birds observed daily feeding on the expired Salmon that have completed their life cycle.

Let our professional Orvis endorsed guides introduce you to spectacular dry fly fishing and then in early fall, site fish for trophy rainbow &  bull trout using egg patterns & streamers on the Mitchell River, Horsefly River, Quesnel River, and Cariboo River. Your guided river fly fishing adventure will excite you & challenge your skills as you pursue these trophy Rainbow Trout in a pristine wilderness British Columbia setting that rates second to none. In addition to these fantastic Rainbow Trout, be prepared to get into your backing as our guides expose you to the challenge of trying to land a large Bull Trout amongst the Salmon that are completing their amazing life cycle in the natural rivers of this protected ecosystem.
