Upper Pitt River Jet Boat Adventure with Pacific Angler
It is that time again...time to head to the Upper Pitt River... and Pacific Angler would like to invite you! The Upper Pitt River is unique in the fact that it is jet boat or helicopter access only. Anglers must travel across Pitt Lake and jet boat up the river to gain access to the best holding water. The end result is a very productive and isolated river, allowing anglers a truly remote and tranquil experience, all within the logistics of a single day.
With a temperamental lake and a demanding river, this system is not easily navigated and is best left for the very experienced jet boat operator. Pacific Angler Expedition guides have over 25 years of experience operating jet boats and guiding clients on rivers up and down the coast. One of their favorite places to be in the summer is the Upper Pitt River with its un-crowded waters, summer temperatures, and eager fish. The river is starting to rise and the sea-run Dolly Varden char will be steadily coming in with the salmon not too far behind. These char are a fantastic species to pursue on the fly as they readily grab large streamer patterns and are often concentrated in shallow water. This makes them ideal targets for anglers of all skill levels. As the season progresses we start to encounter the sockeye that show up later in July and all through August. The sockeye that enter this river are some of the biggest in the world, and these large, chrome fish put up an excellent battle on a single hand or Spey rod. There are still some char around as well and it is not uncommon to get char and salmon in the same day or in the same run.
On a typical day we depart Grant Narrows Boat Launch around 6:45 am and fish on the river from 7:45 am to around 4:30pm, having you back at the boat launch at approximately 5:30 pm. The daily rate includes a full day of guided fishing, expert single hand or two handed casting instruction, and any gear that is needed, such as fly rods, Spey rods, waders and boots.
