Head To British Columbia With Headwaters Outfitters!

Imagine catching 30 or more 15- to 20-inch Westslope cutthroats in one day, from the comfort of a Clackacraft drift boat. Then throw in another day casting hopper patterns to 20-inch rainbows on a private ranch in Alberta, followed by a day of streamer fishing for giant bull trout (picture brook trout on steroids) on a rugged Rocky Mountain stream miles from civilization. Add a couple more days of catching cutthroats on top as they gorge on Green Drakes and cap it off every night with a cold Canadian ale and some great food.

Forget hyperbole - this is the reality of fishing around Fernie, British Columbia every August.

With our partners at Home Waters Guide Service, Headwaters Outfitters is offering a special package rate to 6 lucky anglers: 6 nights of lodging in a luxury condo, with private baths and river views, and 5 days of guided fishing for cutties, rainbows and bulltrout...

For just $1,800!

This special price (based on double occupancy) includes all meals, lodging, flies, leaders, tippet, guide fees and transportation to and from the airport in Kalispell, MT. This does not include Canadian taxes, provincial fishing licenses or gratuities.

A $1,000 deposit is due by Feb. 20 to ensure this special price. Additional fees will apply for single occupancy, so bring a buddy!

Sample Itinerary*

Day One: Float fish the Elk River, casting dry flies to Westslope cutthroats and plumbing the deeper holes for bull trout.

Day Two: Toss hoppers at 7-pound rainbows on "River X," a private stream in Alberta reserved exclusively for our party.

Day Three: Walk-and-wade the Wigwam River, which hosts the largest run of bull trout in the West. And yes, under the right conditions, some of them will even take a dry fly!

Day Four: Float fish the St. Mary River for cutties, rainbows and bull trout.

Day Five: Bull trout fans can choose to walk-and-wade on a variety of local streams in search of a trophy char, or dry fly aficionados can float another stretch of the Elk River.

* This itinerary is not written in stone, but will be adapted to suit the wishes of clients given up-to-date fishing conditions. For instance, if the St. Mary is high from rain, there is the option of moving to the Bow or the Crownest if those rivers are fishing well. Regardless, there will be an opportunity to float in drift boats at least three of the days.

Lodging & Meals

We will be staying in a luxury condo complex located on the Elk River. You can walk out back behind the building and find rising cutthroats, or throw streamers for bull trout. A full breakfast will be served on premises each morning. Mid-day, the guides will serve a shore lunch (usually sandwiches, chips, drink and dessert). We will eat dinner out upon returning from our daily excursions. The dinner menu will vary. Fernie has a wide array of good restaurants, ranging from spicy Indian food to wood-fired pizza to the world famous Tim Horton's, where you can get breakfast or a bowl of chili 24 hours a day. Alcoholic beverages and tips are not included in the package price.
