A Factual Guide On Fly Fishing Fraser River

By Paul Patterson


Angling is a sport that is quickly becoming endeared to many adventure lovers. These days, endless lines of packed RVs with baited hooks shooting into the water are a common sight along lakesides. One good way to gift your family during vacation time would be to take them for fly fishing Fraser River.

The course serves as the main offshoot of the grand Colorado. It offers a unique setting for anglers interested in both small and large scale angling. Its starting point is Berthoud Pass, from where it travels north on a 32 mile course to Granby. The waterway harbors large amounts of brown, brook, cutthroat and wild rainbow trout.

One thing that makes it unique is the fact that it consists of runs, riffles and tail outs that make way to deep bend pools. Fish are in plenty for much of the year, albeit depending on season. The best time to catch salmon is from July to mid November. Trout, on the other hand, can be caught anytime from March to November.

Ease of access to the waterway will be dependent on where you intend to approach from. The first 8 miles of the course as it runs north is situated on national forestland with decent tracks. As such, it is easily accessible from that point. Although the water is narrow and pretty shallow, you can still score a decent catch.

Accessibility becomes challenging as you head downstream. This is something you will notice when you get to Fraser town. Excellent angling spots can be found further downwards at the canyons near Tabernash. A mountain bike would come in handy for traversing difficult terrain.

There are several local resorts that offer full board services to guests. Most of them are located next to the water and thus offer great settings for unhindered angling. If you want to reside in a resort during your vacation, include some additional cash in your budget to cater for the angling charges that resorts often require anglers to pay.

The most alluring thing in resorts is the opportunity to sample exotic dishes. Meals often consist of fresh fish served alongside an array of cuisines. Fish is usually smoked, fried and barbecued and can also be served alongside French fries and vegetable salads.

Part of your preparation should include doing research on all the required gear. Resorts usually have a steady supply of gear for visitors who do not have any. However, you may be charged extra for them depending on the establishment you choose to board in.

Standard gear includes waders, reels, rods and flies. Many anglers who vacation in RVs prefer carrying their own equipment. There are stores that sell quality equipment as well. Moreover, they are often run by people who know the right techniques to use to tie angling flies for inexperienced customers.

There is plenty to long for in your expedition. As long as you prepare well, you family should be in for a memorable adventure. If you do not know where to begin, you may refer to the internet for research.
