Our Steelhead Fly-fisher's daily itinerary:

  • Begin with an early morning wake-up by way of a friendly knock on your cabin door. Guests congregate in the main lodge to enjoy their beverage of choice and friendly conversation around the fireplace where guides are likely to be tying flies and discussing the days plan. Sit down to a home-cooked Bulkley River Lodge classic breakfast. Then it's off to the river for a day of Steelhead fly fishing.
  • Each group (1 guide & 2 guests) will fish a 6 to 9 mile section of the river with lunch being served on the river bank or in the boat while drifting.
  • At the end of the fishing day, it's back to the lodge for a shower and cocktails & appetizers prior to a healthy Bulkley River Lodge dinner.
  • Have a relaxing evening, sleep and repeat!
