Fernie Fly Fishing
Fernie Fly Fishing
Stretching 220km long, the Elk River originates from the Elk Lakes near the Continental divide. It meanders, twists and turns through the Elk Valley visiting the small communities of Elkford, Sparwood, Hosmer, Fernie and Elko.
The Elk River is a classic free stone river; boasting big fish and breathtaking views. Known to many as one of the worlds most premier dry fly fisheries; you can’t beat greedy cutthroat trout aiming to tease and please any angler. Filled with deep pools and buckets, under cut banks, sweet foam lines, big chunky rocks, log jams, dancing riffles, grassy banks and an array of back channels the Elk River offers a variety of angling adventure either walk and wading or drift boat fishing.
There is no doubt about it; the Cutthroat trout in the Elk River and it's tributaries are big, beautiful and well deserving of the attention they get with vibrant high coloured backs, full deep bellies and average between 14 - 16 inches. It is not uncommon to hook into above average cutties that have been know to tape in above 20 inches.
