The Lillooet River

More Pictures

This is truly an adventure destination. Accessed by jet boat from the Harrison River/Lake system, this is a unique opportunity to fish a remote location with excellent Dolly Varden and Cutthroat Trout fishing. Salmon do travel to these waters and can present a sudden and exciting change. This is a trip for those looking for something different.

The Lillooet River is 90 miles or 145 km long and originates with melt-water from the Lillooet Glacier high in the coast mountains north of Vancouver. It flows south and east past the towns of Pemberton and Mount Currie, to empty into the north end of Harrison Lake. A widening of the river near Pemberton forms Lillooet Lk (35.3 sq km). The lower river valley from Harrison Lake north is steeped in our local history and was part of the Douglas Road to the Interior, used between 1858 and 1862. This road was named after one of our more colourful and controversial Governors, Sir James Douglas. This road was the principle means of traveling to the Interior Gold Rush until a new road through the Fraser River Canyon was cut.

The Lillooet River is still a remote and difficult place to reach and wildlife is abundant in this region. Black Bears are a common site and Grizzly Bears walk the river banks. Moose and Deer also reside here as well as many lesser animals. The mighty Bald Eagle is also common site along the river system. Wildlife watching is another excellent reason to visit this incredible area.

The round trip distance is approximately 110 miles or 177 Km. You will travel in a comfortable 22 foot long, fully heated jet boat. All trips are at least 8 hours per day and include a professional guide, custom river boats, tackle and equipment (Fishing licenses and 7% GST are not included). Lunches are not included but available upon request.
