Our fully guided fishing means that you will have a professional with you at all times to help and teach you fly fishing. Our guides are well-chosen, licensed and have the experience to make sure that your fly fishing trip will be successful.

Fly fishing is a method of angling that uses an artificial fly to catch the fish. A fly rod, reel, and specialized weighted line are used to cast the fly. Hand tied flies that look like baitfish, food organisms or lures are used to provoke the fish to bite at the fly. Fly fishing can be done in both fresh or salt water.

The government of Canada has regulations on sport fishing in Canadian fisheries waters of the Pacific Ocean. A fishing license is required before your trip to Peregrine Lodge. Fishing licenses can be purchased online, printed and must be carried while you are fishing. Your licenses should be ready and with you at all times during your stay at Peregrine Lodge.
