Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Fernie, BC - Elk River....

Great report!
Brings back memories of a similar trip years ago, especially the Bull trout on the Wigwam, chasing a fish 1/4 mile down the river.

Spent last week up in British Columbia, 3 hours south of Calgary.

Fished for wild Cutts and Bull Trout.  Elk River Guide company.

Elk River, Michel Creek, Wigwam and upper Bull were the rivers we fished, combo of drift boat, raft and walk/wade.  All dry fly and streamers, only one barbless hook allowed.  Caught one 20"+ cutt in less than 6 inches of water on a tiny side stream, multiple bull trout over 8 lbs (6wt worked hard!) on the wigwam river.

Great guides, beautiful scenery, and fish were very cooperative.  Great exchange rate.

If you want details, reach out or check out https://elkriver.ca/  Paul is the owner.  DIY hard due to limited classified licenses for many of the rivers.
