Luxury fishing lodge in the Cariboo region of BC
|
|
Fish for wild trout in the quiet solitude of local lakes, disturbed only by the splash of big rainbows dancing on the end of your line, at this
private and exclusive adventure lodge on Siwash Lake in the Cariboo region of central BC. This lodge offers freedom, adventure, and the finest of comforts in an intimate, pristine wilderness setting. The Cariboo region's rivers, lakes and streams provide spawning, rearing and foraging habitat for wild native fish, including BC's legendary rainbow trout. Prolific fly hatches, a nutrient rich environment and clear, cold waters make this area a fantastic fishing destination. In particular, the backcountry around the ranch is an angler's paradise. Remote and pristine, it provides both the perfect habitat for wild trout and a refreshing oasis of wilderness solitude for the fisherman.

Nestled high on the Bonaparte Plateau, the ranch is surrounded by natural meadows, open forests of pine and fir, groves of aspen poplar, numerous wilderness lakes, and is flanked by two rivers. There are more than nine excellent trout fishing lakes and a river close by - their picturesque shores are all within a half hour radius of the ranch. Your personal angling guide will take you to his favourite fishing spots in the ranch's four-wheel drive truck - many of these places are well hidden and off the beaten track and just getting to them is like being on a safari adventure. There will be plenty of wildlife and stunning scenery along the way. Once there, you're sure to relax and let nature unwind your woes. Bask in warm sunshine sparkling on azure depths, listen to the wild call of a loon, and inhale the sweet scent of pine wafting by on a soft breeze. You'll be fishing for 2-8lb. rainbows, and will have the opportunity to use waders, float tubes, and a boat with super quiet, electric motor. We offer all types of fishing - you can do traditional spin casting from shore, troll from a boat, or learn to fly fish - whatever your pleasure. If you've never been fly fishing before, your guide will help you match the hatch and perfect your dry fly and wet fly techniques, using both floating and sinking line.

Inside, the ranch house features laid back, western-style luxury; old-fashioned country charm and the rustic flavor of frontier living, finished with casual elegance reminiscent of the Victorian era. The cathedral ceiling living room, with its western décor, overstuffed furniture, vintage fabrics, and antiques makes for a relaxed and comfortable haven at day's end, when there's always a crackling fire burning in the 30-foot river rock fireplace.
