Multiple components need to fall into place to result in the perfect fishing holiday: glassy waters, dry fly action, huge rainbow trout, and a little fun thrown in. However, most important to a fishing getaway is the peace and tranquility of being out on the open water, man and nature. Fly fishing in remote locations offers a special kind of solitude that isn’t easily accessed in daily life.
Remote locations allow you to remove yourself from the hustle and bustle of city life and relax in the beauty of the natural environment. Redfern isn’t one of your cookie cutter Canadian fishing lodges; it is a wilderness experience! In Canada, fly in fishing is more of a passion than a mere pastime.
Redfern River Lodge is situated in Eagle Bay, along the easterly coast of Eutsuk Lake, within North Tweedsmuir Park, which spans 2.5 million acres. Redfern’s world class fly fishing boasts a selection of 15 lakes and 4 rivers within its jurisdiction. Some areas have been untouched for years, and new waters are explored every season. This allows for a truly unique opportunity to fish new territory.
As far as remote BC fly fishing goes, Redfern is unparalleled. Eutsuk and Walla Lake are known for their huge rainbow trout, up to 20 lbs. In addition to world class fly fishing of wild native rainbow trout, the Redfern River is home to rarely fished, hard fighting fish from 10 to 24 inches in length. The Segutlat and Iltasayko Rivers also hold a plentiful supply of fish. Redfern River Lodge has exclusive rights to guide fishermen in the region. While catch and release is promoted, the highly populated waters of Redfern mean you are permitted to keep a two day catch limit from the big lakes.
Whether you’re looking for the thrill of the catch or the tranquility of floating calmly on pristine waters, Redfern offers the gamut of experiences. On top of a mulititude of fishing opportunities, guests can look forward to canoeing and pontoon boating, boat and float plans tours, and hiking and wildlife viewing on remote trails. (You may spot bears, moose, wolves and a variety of birds, amongst other animals.) This luxury wilderness retreat gives you the entire “Redfern Experience”! Redfern’s greatest gift to fishermen is the chance to fish rarely-fished species in virginal (or barely touched) waters. Boldy fish where no one has fished before!
