The gorgeous surrounding mountains, the endless walking, hiking and biking trails, world renowned fly fishing, markets, socials, golfing…. Not sure which of these adventures in Fernie to choose? Let us help you decide!
Fly Fishing
Popular for it’s fly fishing and located only 4 blocks behind the Red Tree Lodge is the Elk River. Spend a day with local guiding company Elk River Guiding Company as you fish the waters that are home to one of the largest remaining populations of wild, pure-strain Westslope Cutthroat Trout. If you’re short on time, the fly fishing conditions are still great from the river banks. Remember all fishing requires a BC Fishing License.
