Lake Fishing
Dragon Lake
Located in Quesnel, this Trophy Rainbow Trout Lake is well known around the world for its large Rainbow Trout. The season begins with ice off and mid April finds us in the weed beds with good catch rates daily. This fishing continues through May and June moving out deeper into the lake as it warms up.
The fishing gets good again in September when the nights start cooling off and the days are still warm and enjoyable, as the fish begin to forage to pack on extra weight for the winter. 
With the Blackwater strain being present in these large trout, be prepared for a great fight, with lots of big runs and jumps. The trout in lake average 3 to 5 lbs and 8 to 12 lb fish are caught often.
I like to anchor up and cast and retrieve into the weeds or work the edge of shoals Chironomid fishing is an effective way to fish this lake and our resident guides know all the locations where the fish school up. We teach lake fishing techniques and help every one from beginners to advanced fly fishers. Fly tying is available at the lodge and using a fly you have tied to catch you trophy trout, makes the experience that much more rewarding.
Brown Lake
This is my favorite Lake for taking guests starting the sport or looking for a great experience in the wilderness. We teach tr
out tactics and have many people start chironomid fishing here. The rainbows averaged 3.2 lbs in 2007 and give you a sore wrist by the end of the day.
If you want to catch large numbers of Rainbow Trout in the 2-4 lbs
Range, fishing this lake is a must. We chironomid fish this lake in the morning and when the hatch comes off the lake, we switch to dry flies.
Little Brown Lake
We like to fish this lake the next day for more exciting action. The lake is smaller in size and the fish are 1 to 3 lbs. We have a few special spots that have brought a lot of enjoyment to our guests. Dry fly fishing happens often on this lake and if you work quickly can have a blast casting to rising trout.
Fir Lake
One of my Guides set up camp here in the spring f
or his own get away. He knows this lake well and will have you into fish. Large Rainbow Trout lurk in its depths, the fish range in size from 2-10 lbs. they are exceptionally beautiful Rainbow Trout. Spending time has allowed us to unlock the lake's secrets. This lake is best fished in the end of May, early June and September. Heavy tippet 8 to 10 lb range would handy to have with you. We drive out from the lodge each day to fish this lake.
Quesnel Lake
This is a 
big lake holding big fish. Quesnel Lake is the deepest fjord lake in North America has three arms each about 30 miles long. Knowing where and when to fish the different sections allows us, to have you hooking that fish of a lifetime. We fish the drop offs, transition zones, and special areas where the fish are feeding. The Quesnel lake strain of rainbow trout is late maturing and does not spawn until they 7 years or more. The fish grow to a large size because of the nutrient base flowing into the lake, from the 
salmon spawning rivers and creeks. There are large schools of bait fish in the lake system allowing the fish to grow. For the Last 5 years you cannot keep a fish over 19 inches and this has led to bigger rainbow and bull trout being caught. Pictures tell the story better than we can.
Mitchell Lake Fly-Outs
For another unique BC wilderness angling experience, fly in to Mitche
ll Lake. Deep in the Cariboo Mountains Park surrounded by towering ice capped mountains. Mitchell Lake is known for its excellent Rainbow and Bull Trout fishing. The Trout are 2 to 5 lbs with large bull trout up to 15 lbs being caught. Access is by air only so the pressure on this system is limited, giving you quality fishing.
We use a four passenger float plane or beaver float plane to move our gear in to the lake. We provide a 14' aluminum boat, motor prepared meals and guide. You will stay in the comfort of our fish camp on the shores of pristine Mitchell Lake, deep in the heart of the Cariboo Mountains Park. Dry fly fishing at creek mouths, as they enter the lake produce nice rainbows, with big bull trout cruising the shore, Early mornings a slow troll with big leeches take trout as they begin to feed. If you have binoculars bring them as there are mountain goats on the sides of the mountains that you can see. Wildlife sightings are common and vary from mountain Cariboo to moose to grizzly bears. A camera with a good telephoto lens helps you get those once in a lifetime shots.
