Wicks Fishing on the Upper Pitt .
June marks the beginning of our freshet. As summer rounds the corner and spring temperatures rise the snowpack in the mountain begins to melt. This runoff queue’s our bull trout to return home to the upper Pitt River. We intercept these fish on their way back to the headwaters of the upper Pitt. This is an incredibly healthy fishery. There are 3 runs of fish. Typically the bigger fish will come late May-early June and tapper into the smaller fish come August. Our Bull trout range anywhere from one to twenty pounds. They are incredibly aggressive and easy to hook. After that, it’s all up to you. They can be caught on skaters late in the season, typically august.
Wicks Fishing Packages .
We have two packages available Monday-Friday am and the weekend package Friday- Monday am. Of course, longer packages can be arranged.
Our unique river feeds into one of the only two freshwater tidal lakes in the world and is only 40 miles from the ocean. Our sea-run trout are powerful and present incredible acrobatic performances. The Pitt River fishing experience is a unique year-round fishing experience that includes all five species of Pacific Salmon as well as Steelhead, Bull Trout, Cutthroat and Rainbow trout.
This river is one of the few remaining rivers in the South Western BC that is still considered a true wilderness experience with large wild salmon and trout runs. When you stay with us here in the Pitt River Valley you are on the river. No early morning car rides across the city, no extra boat rides across any lake… you are where it is all happening.
Our staff of professional guides are waiting to take you and your friends on an unforgettable fishing trip where you share the valley and river with bear, deer, Roosevelt elk and eagles.
All packages include return boat transportation to and from Grant Narrows, accommodation (beautiful rooms with ensuite bathrooms) all meals family-style, overlooking the valley below, guides/rafts and gear if needed.

Our Guides .
There are so many reasons why a guide is vital anywhere in the world but on the Pitt River, the need is even more acute. The need for the raft is critical as the water levels change constantly making it hard to access many spots of the river without one. With the raft you will enjoy peacefully drifting the entire length of the river, stopping to walk and wade from both sides of the shore along the way. We are proud of our guide crew. All of them have the imperative skills of very keen eyes and great knowledge of our local rivers from how the variety of species in our river behave to the entomology required as the season progresses – these skills are a vital qualification for them to work at Pitt River Lodge. Our guides understand that not everyone has the same fishing skills or wants to walk at a fast pace. They are skilled not only at teaching but at tailoring each individual day to suit the many and varied requirements of our guests. We are 100% confident that a day on the water with a Wilderness Lodge guide will be so much more than your typical fishing experience!
