The Horsefly River - a beautiful meandering river, draining the icy waters from it’s origins high in the rugged Cariboo Mountains on the border of Wells Gray Park, it races and tumbles over beautiful Horsefly Falls. It creates perfect habitat for the legendary wild rainbows of its lower reaches.
The Horsefly is one of the major life’s blood rivers of Quesnel Lake. It is the nursery for over 75% of Quesnel Lake’s spawning rainbows. Hundreds of thousands of sockeye return here each year to spawn and complete their life cycle making it host to British Columbia’s largest and most noted salmon run. It offers you the ultimate in a once in a lifetime fly fishing experience. Recently designated one of Canada’s Heritage Rivers, the Horsefly is unsurpassed in natural beauty and an outstanding trout fishery.
The Horsefly River is one of the province’s classified waters. This means it is closely monitored to maintain the quality angling experience it is known for. This river is catch and release only and barbless hooks are required. Fly fishing is excellent throughout the season – dry fly in July and August and wet flies and egg patterns throughout the fall months give you non-stop exciting action for big ‘bows and voracious dolly varden.
Drift fishing and wading is the best method for fishing this river. No motorized boats are allowed. Fishing for wild trout in the quiet solitude of this river, disturbed only by the splash of the big ‘bow dancing on the end of your fly line, is the ultimate trout fishing experience of a lifetime.
