Title: river fishing for trout
Post by: lapetitebuse on September 05, 2013, 07:42:48 AM

Hi,

3 of my friends are visiting from Europe, with the sole purpose of fishing.
They don't have salmon at home, so of course they will give a go the salmon fishery.
They are also very interested in trout, and I am not too sure of the best water to send them.
they are arriving in a week.
 
I need advice on where I should send them.
The option that I though about were
- skagit river in Hope
- upper squamish river
- soo river

Could anybody comment on these location, or give me other options, within 4h drive from Vancouver?
they are particularly interested in bull trout as it is not a native specie at home.

Appreciate your help
David

I love the skagit.  Haven't been back for just over a month, but last time I was there, it was gorgeous as usual, and the rainbows were loving the dry flies.  Some nice sized bulls in there too.  I don't have a lot of history on the river, but from what I've gathered is that the population of bulls seems to have increased.  Would be a good option for sure.
