Our destination is the unspoiled Spatsizi Wilderness Park in northern British Columbia with Jake Daly, seasoned fly-fishing expert and manager of Spatsizi River Outfitters. 

Spatsizi Wilderness Park

Roadless and uninhabited, Spatsizi is two million acres of wild, rugged and remote wilderness unchanged by man, offering some of the best fly fishing on the planet.

A native BC-er, Jake shares his adventures of double-digit bull trout, bears wrestling in boats, the largest manhunt in BC history, and how the Collingwood brothers founded the operation after landing 126 trout on 126 casts.  Stick around to the end for a shore lunch tip like no other—how to cook trout in a frying pan made from an artic birch tree.  No joke!
