THE SPORT FISHING GUIDE
The Fishing Experience of a Lifetime? Come to British Columbia
Article by David Wei and Suzanne Clouthier
British Columbia is big. It stretches over 1,200 kilometres from Canada's border with the United States north to the Yukon border and over 1,000 kilometres from the Pacific Ocean to the Rocky Mountain. Covering almost 945,000 square kilometres, British Columbia is larger than the combined areas of California, Washington and Idaho. Circumnavigating some 6,000 islands, and pushing deep into steep-sided, glacially carved fjords, B.C.'s rugged saltwater coastline measures almost 27,000 kilometres. The towering mountain ranges on Vancouver Island, the Coast Mountains, and the Rockies run north-south to intercept weather systems from the Pacific Ocean, which then release captured moisture as precipitation to replenish both man-made impoundments and thousands of natural lakes, ponds, rivers and streams.
MAP SHOWCASE
A selection of Angler's Atlas maps are provided highlighting some nice fishing gems across the province. Just enough to whet your appetite for The Angler's Atlas companion map guides for each region of BC (published the spring of 2012).
Bridge Lake is dotted with islands and shoals, providing a diversity of fishing holes to explore. It has good fishing for rainbow trout, kokanee and burbot.
There is a popular lure called the Bingobug, which works well for trolling. A Wedding Band and worm are always a reliable producer, and a white Apex with red tip also works well. Fly fishers may find that leeches, Woolly Buggers, horsehair nymphs and Carey Specials are reliable patterns.
