Ts'yl-os Park Lodge @ The Fly Shop®

The McLean Ts'yl-os Park Lodge
Chilko Lake • British Columbia, Canada

T h e M c L e a n f a m i l y ' s Ts'yl-os Park Lodge (pronounced Silos) is a trout fishermen's paradise, located about 200 air miles over the coastal mountains from Vancouver, British Columbia. At their lodge are what Rainbow Trout dreams are made of; whether the angler prefers the crystal clear waters of Chilko River or the dozens of creek heads of Chilko Lake, it's in Trophy Rainbow Country!

With an extended dry fly season of July and August and great wet fly and egg pattern fishing in June and September, the Chilko River is loaded with big trout. When fishing Chilko Lake guests will be focusing on Dolly Varden (Bull Trout) as well as the resident Rainbows.

Fishing the Chilko River by Jet Boat, Drift Boat, float tubes and wading you will always find the perfect shelf or eddy to drop your fly on. Most fishermen spend at least one day on the 52-mile long Chilko Lake, fishing with streamers at the creek mouths for Dolly Varden and Rainbows. They also fish nearby Tsuniah Lake or offer a float plane service to more remote mountain waters, but with the fishing so incredible at the lodge, the offer is rarely accepted.

Ts'yl-os Park Lodge is also an excellent non-angling destination. With a large number of great horses, they offer an excellent riding package. There are canoes, hiking trails and lake-trips to take advantage of as well.

Ts'yl-os Park Lodge is a rare combination of Canadian atmosphere deep in the heart of an unspoiled wilderness. It is Canada the way most imagine it should be with beautiful forests, crystal clear fish-infested streams and friendly folks. This destination is one of a few that caters not only to anglers but also to families wanting to get away from it all. It offers excellent fishing, breathtaking surroundings, home-cooked meals and, at the end of the day you may gaze at the stars while soaking those tired muscles in a hot tub. The packages offered are an outstanding value.
