FISHING THE NORTHERN ROCKIES
The Northern Rockies of BC, with its spectacular peaks, lush forests and pristine lakes, is the place to go this summer. Whether it's family fishing you're after, or total backcountry solitude, you'll find it in the Northern Rockies.
Don't let the sandy beach fool you, Maxhamish Lake is true wilderness. This beautiful lake is only accessible by quad from a staging area off of highway 77 (Liard Highway). You will find pike and walleye, and the sounds of nature.
Stunning Muncho Lake Provincial Park and Summit Lake (in Stone Mountain Provincial Park), are both nestled amongst ice-capped mountains and are required stops on your Northern Adventure. You'll be wondering whether to reach for your camera or your fly rod! Of course, the arctic grayling are waiting...
Everywhere you go, you'll be greeted by warm northern hospitality. Come and stay at one of the region's first - rate fishing lodges, or stop at the Fort Nelson Museum that celebrates the region's history and the building of the Alaska Highway.
Take a hike, literally! Guided or self-guided hiking and horseback tours are available, through remote and unmaintained wilderness parks or just off the beaten path. Of course, when you're done trekking through the rugged backcountry, a trip to the Liard Hot Springs is a perfect cap to an exciting adventure.
Tetsa River, home of the Tetsa River Fishing Derby in August, is a great place to camp and enjoy the scenery. Andy Bailey Lake, with its campsites and (non-motorized) boat launch, is a great spot and easily accessible off the Alaska Highway, 30km south of Fort Nelson.
Come North, and find Adventure at its Peak!
