The Fishing at Spatsizi Wilderness Provincial Park
British Columbia • Canada

Each morning Anglers will awake to another breathtaking day in one of North America’s most spectacular designated wildernesses.

Fresh brewed coffee will be on at the lodge by 7:00 a.m. and a cook to order breakfast will be served by 8:00 a.m. After breakfast, you will head back to your cabins, put your waders on, grab your kit for the day and head off to one of a few dozen wonderful fisheries. The lodge maintains a fleet of three float-equipped aircraft which allows for great flexibility in the daily fishing program.

Normally the evening before your fishing day, you will sit down with your guide and come up with a game plan. Your guide will fill you in on any special equipment you might need for the day and set a floatplane departure time. Of course, if the weather changes and does not allow you to execute on your pre-arranged plans, another fishery will be substituted. With little or no intrusion by other lodges, guides or outfitters within the park confines, you don’t have to worry about getting to your spot first or a lack of options.

One of the highlights of you week at Spatsizi Wilderness Lodge is your overnight excursion at their Firesteel Camp. You will pack a small overnight bag for this two day, one overnight excursion. Everything else will be supplied at the Firesteel Camp. The dry fly fishing on the Firesteel River is unbelievable and basing right on the river will allow you to fish long days and the evening hatch which is a sight to see and experience. At the end of the second day, you will be flown back to the main lodge on Laslui.

Lunch is usually taken on the fly in the field and is prepared and packed for you each morning by one of the lodge chefs. Each two anglers will share a guide to ensure a quality and personalized fishing day.

You can expect to be back to the lodge sometime between 5:00 and 6:00 p.m. with plenty of time to take a shower, have a cocktail, enjoy some tasty appetizers before dinner is served at approximately 7:00 p.m. Complimentary wine is served with dinner and the chefs at Spatsizi are extremely talented and create some wonderful meals – all homemade… After dinner guests can tie flies, play horseshoes, take a walk, enjoy the campfire or play cards.

Note: Due to the limited number of rod days, the lodge limits each angler to fishing each destination only once. This provides equal opportunity for all guests and maintains quality fishing and environment at each location. Your co-operation and understanding is appreciated.
