Fishing BC’s North and Central Interior

The north and central interior of beautiful British Columbia is an immense wilderness that offers countless lakes and rivers filled with a diverse range of fish.

The nutrient-rich ecosystem, crystal clear lakes and plentiful rivers make this region ideal for your BC sportfishing vacation.

Alaska offers some of the most spectacular freshwater, saltwater, and fly-fishing in the world. With nearly 34,000 miles of ocean shoreline, over 3 million lakes, 12,000 rivers and thousands more fish-filled streams, the challenge isn’t catching fish, but deciding where and what to catch.
