Elk River Lodge, British Columbia
Dry fly fishing for large wild cutthroat in the river straight from the lodge or by driftboat is nothing short of spectacular. The trout run large (18 to 20 inch trout are common), and are eager to take a dry fly. The bull trout in the local rivers run 5 to 20 pounds and occasionally will rip smaller trout off your line like a shark. We don't recommend fishing for them if you have a heart condition! In addition to the Elk River, the Wigwam, Bull and Crowsnest rivers and several alpine lakes in the area are teeming with wild trout, many of trophy proportions. All fishing is strictly catch and release fly fishing with barbless hooks and careful handling of the fish.
 Accommodation is provided by our historic, comfortable and rustic lodge, with incredible views right beside the Elk River. We have a lot of room to roam with total privacy on the 92 acre Diamond B Ranch. Originally built in 1910, the lodge has been carefully restored to preserve the original rustic appeal and furnished with large leather chairs, custom log furniture and spacious decks overlooking our own spring creek and mountain views.
The lodge has 6 bedrooms and accommodates up to 12 guests comfortably. Each room has two luxurious log beds, down comforters, and a refrigerator. Each two bedrooms share a bath and all have access to the full kitchen, great room with fireplace, large dining room and spacious decks. All inclusive packages include 3 hearty meals per day...hearty breakfast, delicious pack lunches and hearty dinners consisting of succulent salmon and steak options.
The only existing lodge in the Elk River and they have a private launch site on the premises. Guiding is provided by Elk River Guiding Company. These are some of the best trout streams in the NW. Come and experience one of the up and coming premier lodges for trout in BC and western Alberta.
