Testimony from Greg Finak, Montreal Quebec - May 2010
Hi Brian, Just wanted to say thanks again for the great outing. The quality of the fish, great weather and stunning scenery... Next time I'm around I will have to try float tubing on the lakes here. I look forward to seeing the photos, and I'll make sure pass them and your coordinates on to friends who will be visiting in the future. |
 I am a born and raised Vancouverite who has been fly fishing our local rivers and lakes and tying flies for over 2 decades and know what our local fish are interested in biting. Our other fly fishing guides are local experts and practically live on the river in their spare time. We can provide you with fly casting instruction to help you enjoy your day better. All of our flies are custom tied by Brian McKinlay(owner) to the highest standards and we only use top quality materials. Click here to view some of our flies.

 Fly fishing Vancouver BC for Salmon in the Fraser River Valley and Squamish River Valley is best from September to December for Coho, Chum, Pink, Sockeye and Chinook Salmon. Spring run King Salmon are available in April and May on the Lilooet river which is accessed only by jet boat or helicopter from Harrison hot springs, just 90 minutes east of Vancouver. This river is absolutely gorgeous and surrounded by the best scenery anywhere on the planet and has very good trout fishing too. The Harrison river offers great Salmon fly fishing in October/November. The Pitt River has a good Sockeye run in August, good Coho salmon and Chum salmon runs in October and November. We fly fish on the Fraser and Harrison rivers, Squamish River, Chilliwack River, Pitt River and many more rivers and streams in the Vancouver area or try a remote helicopter adventure on a coastal river. |
 Fly Fishing in Vancouver BC for Bull trout and Dolly Varden is best from mid March to July on local rivers. Silversides provides Guided Walk and Wade trips with pickup from all downtown Vancouver hotels on the Squamish river which fishes best from mid March to mid May but sometimes into June. We also offer guided fly fishing trips on the famous Pitt river. These aggressive trout and char reach weights of over 10 lbs and average 3 lbs. I like swinging huge flies for these fish or luring them out of log jams and watching them grab your offering! They are a pretty fish and are easily identified by their pink spots and white tipped fins. Silversides is extremely skilled in finding these beauties of our cold glacial fed rivers! |
 Lake fly fishing guided trips for Rainbow Trout is just over 2 hours east of Vancouver, BC and is a local favorite past time for many local anglers. It offers great fly fishing on quiet wilderness lakes for mostly wild Rainbow trout. The best way to catch a feeding Rainbow in a lake is to match the hatch and we do this quite well with Chironomids(the trouts main food supply) under a floating line. This is how 50 fish days happen for our clients! Other flies in our arsenal include Damsels, Dragons, Leeches, Shrimp, Mayflies and many more. When I want to enjoy time off this is my favorite fishing. Most lakes are small and we fish from float tubes, but in those small lakes we can find well fed rainbows to 8 lbs! Silversides offers full service from downtown Vancouver hotels, taking care of everything including gourmet shore lunch. |
