Fishing

A fishing haven

The Cariboo Chilcotin Coast, in its entirety, is one of North America's finest areas for salmon and freshwater sportfishing. Scattered throughout a beautiful landscape are over 8,000 clean clear lakes, 17,000km (11,000 mi) of cool rivers and streams, and access to the seemingly endless West Coast of British Columbia.

The region is renowned for its secluded rainbow trout flyfishing waters and world-class salmon and halibut destinations. Facilities throughout the region range from outpost wilderness camps, to basic cabins to luxury fly-in resorts. 

Take advantage of all this and bring your favourite gear and tackle. Our many saltwater and freshwater resorts and angling vacations are ready to make your trip a memorable one.  

Freshwater species include: rainbow trout, Dolly Varden, brook trout, bull trout, kokanee, and steelhead.

Saltwater species include: halibut, cod, and Pacific salmon (all five types).

We encourage anglers to practice appropriate Catch and Release methods to ensure that this remarkable part of British Columbia remains pristine and a true wilderness experience for generations to come.
