Fly fishing
Live conditions for the rivers and lakes we cover in Canada, by province or territory.
Every Canadian page is in metric, and each one lists its province's rules. In Alberta we cover the Bow below Calgary, the foothills rivers from the Sheep and the Highwood to the Waterton and the Belly, the cutthroat streams of the southwest such as the Crowsnest, the Castle and the Livingstone, and lakes in Banff and Jasper. British Columbia runs from the cutthroat and bull trout water of the Kootenays, the rainbows of Kootenay Lake and the Cariboo, and the Interior lakes near Kamloops to the steelhead and salmon rivers of the coast: the Skeena and its tributaries, the Dean, the Squamish and the rivers of Vancouver Island. In Ontario we cover the brown trout tailwater on the Grand at Fergus and Elora, the Lake Ontario tributaries from the Credit and Bronte Creek to the Ganaraska at Port Hope, the Georgian Bay and Lake Huron steelhead rivers such as the Saugeen and the Nottawasaga, and the Lake Superior shore, from the Nipigon's brook trout to the steelhead rivers near Sault Ste. Marie. In the Atlantic provinces the focus is Atlantic salmon: the Miramichi, the Restigouche and the Upsalquitch in New Brunswick, the Margaree in Nova Scotia, and the Humber, the Gander, the Exploits and Labrador's Eagle in Newfoundland and Labrador, with brook trout rivers in Prince Edward Island and on Nova Scotia's St. Marys. In the Northwest Territories we cover the big lake trout of Great Bear Lake and the Arctic grayling rivers around Great Slave Lake: the Yellowknife and the Cameron near Yellowknife, and the Kakisa at Lady Evelyn Falls. Steelhead and salmon runs are closely managed, and a hot summer can close a salmon river, so check the in-season notices before you go.
