Canada Fly In Fishing Made Easy
Fly in Fishing has become a popular vacation not only for seasoned fishermen but for those who are new to fishing as well. There are different locations in the North America for Fly in Fishing, but if you really want to have a trip of a lifetime, then the place to be is British Columbia, Canada.
With marine life of all sorts the coastal waters of British Columbia have all five species of the Pacific Salmon Chinook (Kings), Coho (Silvers), Chum, Pink and Sockeye. The trophy salmon are one of the biggest reasons why people travel to British Colombia from all over the world to fish. Making your dream vacation come true is only a matter of planning it well. Keep in mind the essentials and you’re sure to remember the trip for years to come.
Know the place you are going to visit before you even set out. I always recommend you go to an isolated fishing lodge for the best fishing. Preferably one that is fly-in only so it provides the most isolated and undisturbed environment possible. Fishing lodges are great because they are comfortable, provide guides, meals and lodging.
If you are going to out on the water then you will want to have sun block with you since you will be spending a great deal of times outdoors. Pack some rain gear as well, since you can never tell when the weather will take a turn. Of course, you’ll want to have your camera handy for when you make that trophy catch.
Even with waters that are teeming with fish, you will still want to know where the best fishing spots in the area are. It may even be better if you have someone with you who knows the area well. Depending on the region the average Chinook ranges from 25 to 35 lb and some places like Rivers Inlet have seen Chinooks caught as high as 70lb!
Equipment and transportation can be very important if you will be fishing in locations that are not easily accessible. Charter boats, planes and even kayaks can be hired to take you to your fishing destination. It’s a good idea to make a reservation if you are coming during the peak seasons.
Know the rules and regulations that the area you are fishing in has. Like other provinces in Canada British Columbia has its own set of rules and regulations which includes getting licenses and conservation stamps. These are available almost anywhere including lodges, resorts and selected department stores.
A good place to stay is essential as well. Make sure that the place you choose is equipped with everything that you need to make your stay more comfortable. Don’t forget to book early as often the best lodges sell out.
