Chalet Fishing

FISHING & WILDLIFE

Fishing is good close to the Chalet because of the inflows of Hemp Creek upstream and Grouse Creek downstream. The Chalet property has considerable frontage on the Clearwater River, so guests can enjoy lots of private shoreline for fishing. The river's deep calm pools are home to Rainbow Trout and Dolly Varden. The Clearwater is a catch and release river with a bait ban and barbless hooks. The fishing season opens July 15. A British Columbia fishing licence must be purchased in advance. Chinook Salmon can be caught in August with a special licence.

The Chalet property is a wildlife sanctuary, so hunting and ATV's are not permitted. Consequently, wildlife is plentiful and guests frequently observe eagles, moose, deer and black bears and occasionally mink, coyotes, wolves and cougars.
