World Class Backcountry Fishing
From fly fishing to traditional angling, the clear, cold waters of B.C.’s Chilcotin Mountains offer a wide range of fishing opportunities.
Stillwater Fishing
The clean, clear waters of Tyaughton Lake are home to beautiful, thick rainbow trout. Or you may choose to venture beyond the lodge and explore Mowson Pond, Pearson Pond or Gun Lake.
Borrow one of our complimentary canoes and float in peace as you cast away. Please note: our canoe rentals are available for Tyaughton Lake only.
Local Rivers & Streams
Moving water puts the mind in a meditative zone, and we have lots of flow to choose from: Gun Creek, the namesake Tyaughton Creek, or Bridge River.
Fishing in the Chilcotins
At Tyax we are more than Tyaughton Lake. In the area lie more than a half dozen great fishing lakes and a handful of some of the province’s most exciting fishing waterways like Gun Creek, Lillooet River, and Bridge Rivers.
The Best Fishing in the Chilcotins
Fish species like rainbow trout, bull trout, and Dolly Varden swim in the Chilcotin’s best fishing rivers and lakes. Tyax Lodge makes for the perfect bascamp to explore the region, therefore we suggest staying with us for an absolute minimum of 2 nights.
Chilcotin Plateau Fishing Gear
We strongly suggest bringing your own gear. However, we do have a few complimentary fishing rods for guests to use on Tyaughton Lake.
Purchase a Fishing Licence - It's the law.
If you would like to fish, you will need to purchase a Recreational Freshwater Fishing Licence, which is very easy to do online here. You can buy a single day licence (only $11-$22), or an annual licence.
Fishing Tyaughton Lake
Not everyone wants to go on a grand fishing adventure, and for those people we have the beautiful blue waters of Tyaughton Lake right at the Lodge. Borrow a canoe, cast from the dock, or wander the lakeshore looking for fish. You’ll find our guides and staff out there occasionally, soaking up the sun and casting for a bite.
