The Elk River Tributaries in Fernie, British Columbia, Canada, offer some of the world’s finest drive-to fly fishing.

In This Video You Will Discover:

  • The Picturesque Fishing Opportunities in Fernie, BC
  • The Beauty of a Westslope Cutthroat Trout
  • The Fierceness of a Bull Trout

Forget Montana. Forget Patagonia. Forget New Zealand.

When it comes to fly fishing for trout, Fernie, British Columbia beats them all. My friend, Frank, flies halfway around the world from his home near Melbourne, Australia, just to wet a line in Fernie. He claims there is nowhere else like it. I agree.

Fernie, located in the southeast corner of British Columbia, in the province’s Kootenay Mountains, is defined by the Elk River Valley. The Elk River and its tributaries are strictly managed fisheries that offer world-class fly fishing for massive bull trout and hard-fighting cutthroat trout.
