Fly Fishing Vancouver and BC Fishing Guides with Pitt River Lodge

Season for steelhead runs from May to July. During this time, guests can expect to catch steelhead weighing up to 18 lbs, bull trout up to 12 lbs, rainbow trout up to 5 lbs, and cutthroat trout up to 4 lbs. Our guides recommend using large weighted baitfish patterns in black and olive colours, as well as blue string leeches, intruders, Gorman eggs, minnow patterns, and egg-sucking leeches. Additionally, a small selection of medium-sized dry flies can be effective.

Summer, running from July to September, is prime time for bull trout weighing up to 12 lbs, rainbow trout up to 5 lbs, and cutthroat trout up to 4 lbs. Guests can use weighted motor oil-colored leeches for Sockeye, large weighted baitfish patterns in black and olive, and other effective flies.

From September to December, guests can target Coho salmon along with bull trout up to 8 lbs, rainbow trout up to 5 lbs, and cutthroat trout up to 4 lbs. Flashier flies, such as Christmas Trees or other large flashy baitfish patterns, work well for Coho. Large weighted baitfish patterns in black, orange, red, and chartreuse are also recommended, along with a small selection of medium-sized dry flies.

Winter, from January to April, is ideal for catching steelhead weighing up to 18 lbs, bull trout up to 8 lbs, rainbow trout up to 5 lbs, and cutthroat trout up to 4 lbs.
