Fly fishing in Fernie Trout Town
Truly one of North America ’ s best fly-fishing destinations . Enjoy easy access to a host of mountain lakes and the clear freestone waters of the Elk River and its many tributaries — home to one of the largest remaining populations of wild , pure-strain Westslope Cutthroat Trout and an abundance of monster Bull Trout . Guided fly-fishing is the difference between a great day and a perfect day . Tailored to every level of ability , choose from guided float trips , walk and wade , or learn-to-fish tours from experienced local guides at Elk River Guiding , Fernie Wilderness Adventures or Kootenay Fly Shop & Guiding .
