Welcome to our Blog. This is the best way to keep up with current events on Frontier Farwest Logde.
Fishing the Bulkley Valley in the summer is an exciting adventure which will give you a wide variety of opportunities to fish many different types of waters and species. By utilizing a float plane base 5 minutes from the lodge we have access to over 80 miles of fishable waters.
Looking at BC fishing Lodges for yourself, a group or perhaps for a Corporate or Executive Retreat? Well, look no further. At Frontier...
After two extremely successful seasons under new ownership at Frontier Farwest Steelhead Lodge, we have decided to expand our operation.
Every year we ask our guests what we can do to improve, and the common theme is that people want to spend more time on the Morice River to compliment our unique canyon trips.
After long consideration of this we have purchased Morice River Lodge. This means in 2011 all our...
There's a species of fly fisherman among us that is common, yet poorly understood. Their habitat consists of parties, barbecues, and anywhere the beer pours freely. When they are on there own they are hardcore, ardent fly fisherman, often published writers on the sport they love. However if their is a party on the go and it revolves around fishing they have an inclination to pick up a gear rod. Bar fishing for...
Are you a leader just because you run a small business? No. But you need to be. Without leadership, the ship that is your small business will aimlessly circle and eventually run out of power or run aground. Anyone who has ever been in the lodge business knows this oh to well. The lodge owner is the captain of the ship and the type of leader they are reflects the service they provide. Ultimately it is the owners...
Guides are an eclectic mix of fishing enthusiasts. The world of fly fishing can be very small, and those who choose it as a profession have a common thread that connects them all. They clearly have a deep love and passion for the art of fly fishing. It is similar to someone selecting to be an educator in our school systems. However a fishing guide has a freedom that we don’t allow to our teachers. This...
The dead of winter is fast approaching. This is the time when Bulkley steelhead fisherman are in a dark place. too far removed from last years memories of tailing chrome wild fish, and too far away from stepping into a run armed only with a dry fly. We read fishing magazines, tie flies, and tell stories of past battles with the strongest fish that swims. All of this helps dull the pain. It only slightly quenches a...
The Queen Charlottes islands.
The Queen Charlotte Islands are accessed by ferry from Prince Rupert to the Skidegate Landing Ferry Terminal on Graham Island, by air from Vancouver to Sandspit on Moresby Island (770 km), and by air from Prince Rupert to Sandspit. Other commercial air services (including float planes and helicopters) are available at Sandspit, Queen Charlotte City and Masset. A 20-minute ferry ride...
For many of us the transition from trout fishing to steelheading seems like a logical one. Some people feel they have caught enough trout to have acquired a great confidence and are interested in tackling a new challenge. Plus seeing all the photos of massive steelhead that double or triple the size of our best trout raise curiosities. The trade off with steelhead is obviously the lower numbers for more size. It...
Hunkering down beside a 500 year old fallen Sitka spruce, my felt-sole shoes dig into the gravel bottom of Moresby Islands Deena River, one of the last great havens for catching fresh wild steelhead in a small stream. Fishing the rivers of the Queen Charlotte Islands is an exciting challenge that offers anglers the chance at chrome steelhead that have just entered freshwater.
Through my polarized shades, I...
Exploring the unspoiled rivers of the Queen Charlotte Islands is like stepping into a fishermans fantasy. As we wandered through the mossy green rainforest we felt as though we were in a fairy tale ourselves. The giant hemlocks had such life and personality they seemed alive. Dense spruce and cedar groves breathed as we passed through. Eventually we were swallowed into a world where anything seemed possible. Our...
