RIVER FISHING

Heli-Fishing near Prince George

Few experiences rival soaring over British Columbia’s vast wilderness in a helicopter, knowing that wherever you may land you will be the only ones there. Kate Watson of Northern Outback Adventures has pioneered an excellent heli-fishing program that allows anglers to experience the waters near Prince George from a different perspective. For anglers that prefer fishing moving water, Northern Outback Adventures reaches a multitude of remote river systems that hold large numbers of Bull trout.  A member of the char family, these are the apex predators of almost any river system they inhabit and are a great target species to pursue with streamers. For the stillwater enthusiast, the options are endless with over 1,600 lakes in Prince George’s surrounding area.  Lakes are fished from small personal watercrafts, anglers are always accompanied by both their guide and pilot for the duration of the day. Heli-fishing is a once in a lifetime experience, and the pristine waters of Northern BC provide a fly fishing experience found nowhere else in the province.
