Our Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) populations live in some of the cleanest waters in British Columbia. You can really tell the difference between the average Rainbow, and one that came from a watershed completely void of industrial activity. These fish are tenacious feeders and hard fighters with not one of them originating from a hatchery. You will be amazed at the almost fluorescent flesh that looks just as good on the barbecue as it does on the end of your line.
Our Cabins
Our Cabins
We accommodate our guests with 5 different cabins strewn around the lakes in the territory. With cabins tucked strategically around crystal lakes through the wilderness, expect to have a memorable fishing trip in Northern British Columbia. The cabins are situated on Toodoggone Lake, Chukachida Lake, Chukachida River, Metsantan Lake, and Moosehorn Lake.
Fishing Techniques
Anglers should expect varying water conditions and come prepared with a multitude of flies. High summer days can provide excellent five weight dry fly opportunities, while the shoulder season will have you reaching for your nymphs. Trophy size Rainbows can also be had by lake trolling attractor patterns off a sinking line.
Fishers should be equipped with the proper tackles. There are several fishing tackle assortments. Every angler should bring at least a hook, bait, and fishing line.

General Things to Know Before Fishing
Fishing Regulations
It is a shared responsibility to manage Canada’s fisheries between the territorial, Provincial, and federal government. Since there are various roles between different territories and provinces:
- The responsibility of all marine species is on federal government with the exception of inland waters’ catadromous and anadromous in some regions; and
- The freshwater responsibility is on provincial and territorial governments with the exception of British Columbia’s Salmon.
Fishing Licenses and Tags
Before fishing you need to have a valid:
- Outdoors Card (a three years valid identification card),
- A fishing licence (for one or three years)
Fishing licences are for:
- Conservetion (for reducing limits of catch)
- Sport (for normal limits of catch)

Identification
Fish profile
The colouration of a rainbow trout can vary greatly with the habitat, growth and spawning period. For example, the darker and vivid colours will more likely appear in stream dwellers and spawners, while steelhead obtain a silvery appearance after returning from the sea. Though most recognized by the red or pink stripe along the middle of its sides, the spots that extend onto the dorsal, the adipose fin, and the tail are also a key indicator of this species.
Cast a line, enjoy the breath-taking scenery, inspire by the true nature.
NBC Hunts boasts some of the most densely populated Arctic Grayling rivers in British Columbia. Arctic Grayling (Thymallus arcticus) can be finnicky, but provide the ultimate dry fly experience for discerning anglers.
Bull Trout (Salvelinus confluentus) are apex predators that dominate their section of river. These fish are known to travel great lengths to strike a carefully presented fly.
Lake Trout (Salvelinus namaycush) are fresh water char that are uniquely Canadian. Our Lake Trout here in NBC Hunts territory are excellent tasting and easily exceed the average 2-10 pounds.
