Fly fishing in Canada is a great adventure. Americans can access Canada easily. With numerous river systems connecting to oceans and the most freshwater lakes in the world, there is abundant fishing. In addition, you’ll be spending your days in pristine wilderness. You can also choose the convenience of hotels in world class cities like Vancouver and Calgary. In fact, both cities are within an hour from superb locations.
Labrador fly fishing
Firstly, Labrador, on the north-east coast of Canada, has many remote spots. Indeed, many resorts here are fly-in. As a result, Labrador is a true wilderness experience. Salmon, brook trout, whitefish, Arctic char and Northern pike can be found here. Not only that, but there are lots of opportunities for wildlife viewing. You might see eagles, bears and caribou.
Miramichi River
The Miramichi River, located in New Brunswick, is another eastern destination. It is famous as the longest salmon run in the world and for producing the most salmon. You can also fish for brook trout and shad. Enjoy the outdoors with canoeing, grilling and other activities to pass the time.
Algoma
Northern Ontario encompasses a vast expanse of wilderness. However, it is still accessible from Michigan, the Midwest and the eastern States. Algoma boasts stunning views of Lake Superior and numerous rivers for fishing. There are many lodges located around the pristine lakes and rivers of the region. Accommodations are comfortable and affordable. You can fish for brook trout, Northern pike, salmon and smallmouth bass.
Bow River
The Bow River originates in the Rocky Mountains. It travels through the resort town of Banff and makes its way through Calgary, Canada’s fourth largest city. You can arrive at the international airport and be on the river within an hour. You can also choose a mountain trip near Canmore, or fish downstream in the prairie. This is a great place to fish for trout and Northern pike. There is also amazing wildlife to appreciate. Elk, bears, mountain goats and smaller prairie animals are often spotted.
Vancouver
Canada’s third largest city, Vancouver, is also located within an hour’s drive of fishing spots. Vancouver is easily accessible by an international airport. You’ll find trout, salmon and sturgeon. You can fish the Squamish, Fraser, Pitt and other rivers surrounded by spectacular mountain and valley scenery. Spend your evening at a lodge or cabin or in the cosmopolitan city of Vancouver. Many guides will pick up clients from downtown hotels. The area has lots of wildlife to view. There’s even an eagle viewing festival each fall on the Fraser River.

US residents are often turned away at the Canadian border due to minor records. The most common reason is DUI. But this doesn’t mean that a Canadian vacation is out of the question.
