Comments from Geoff about his favorite route
"The best value for money route I have found is to fly to
Seattle USA, have a night in an airport motel, the next day hiring a car and
driving north through the border with Canada to Chilliwack, BC, where you
will be based. This drive is the equivalent of say London to York and takes
3½ hours, including the border crossing. It is a very relaxed affair – set
the cruise control to 55-60 mph and let the road unroll. I normally make a
day of this by setting off at 9am, spend an hour or so for a leisurely lunch
along the way, take in a shopping mall on route (little gifts to return home
with), finally arriving at Chilliwack during the afternoon, fully relaxed
and ready for fishing the next day."
 An
alternate route is through the incredible Rocky Mountains via Calgary
Canada. Pick up a car in Calgary and drop off in Vancouver. This is really a two day driving trip through world renowned Banff
National Park and the Rocky Mountains, across the rolling country side of
Central British Columbia, over the Coastal Mountain range and into
Chilliwack just east of Vancouver.
How about extending your trip into a tour of BC. Fish with us for two or
three days and then with the remainder of your time visit this incredible
province with all its' natural beauty.
There are so many options and activities in and around the west coast such
as if you want to extend the trip from skiing to touring the Rockies, to
visiting Vancouver Island, hiring a mobile home and on and on. Just call us
to explore the possibilities.
Climate
In the area you will be fishing the climate is a duplicate of the UK with
the exception of the summer months, which are always better, with river
temperatures reaching 20º at times. During mid-winter you will find a little
snow blowing around (it is interesting to watch the snowline slowly
descending the mountains as winter progresses) but at river altitude it very
rarely settles. |
