Lodging and Camping

The Pitt River Lodge is British Columbia's Premier Fly and Spey fishing destination. The sheer diversity of our fish species and abundance is why America Angler Magazine rated the Pitt River as one of the top two, Fishing in Canada, rivers. Our specialty is fly fishing for silvers (coho), sockeye, pink salmon, chum, steel head and five different trout species. Our unique river feeds into one of the only two freshwater tidal lakes in the world and being only 40 miles from the ocean our salmon come in bright and powerful for incredible acrobatic performances. We also do Fraser River fishing trips for ancient sturgeon and have some of the most knowledgeable fishing guides for this fabled sea monster. When hooked it will give you a memory you will never forget!

Instead of a 6 foot sturgeon I landed this mighty bullhead! 😂

A nice bull trout from the upper pitt river, thanks to our guide Juda putting us in the right spot. This bull was lurking along the seam just behind some debris, so a lucky cast got the fly to the right spot...and it got deep enough to illicit a strike. We were fishing homemade popsicles and showgirls with good success.

On our last morning of our Upper Pitt River trip, I landed this chrome coho on a super sparse kelsey's hope. My first cast and swing through the run garnered some attention with a quick hit, but I didn't set the hook fast enough. I cast back to the same location and worked the fly a bit faster and more aggressively through the swing, and the coho smashed it. I was into my backing within seconds and managed to land him about 10min later. He was released after getting a great photo.

I took a few clients on a guided fishing trip on the upper pitt river in October. Water conditions were really tough given heavy rains, but we ran into some nice bulls on the first day, and some chrome coho on the second day. I hooked up with this bull on a home-tied popsicle.
