Imagine yourself on the pristine waters of the lake at Ruddocks Ranch, surrounded by the untouched beauty of British Columbia, where every fishing trip brings the exhilarating chase of wild rainbow trout, a species revered for its fierce fighting spirit and rapid growth rate. These dazzling fish grow up to a remarkable 2 lbs per year thanks to the abundant food supply in the lake – promising a thrilling experience for every angler, seasoned or beginner.
This dynamic ecosystem is abundant with a diverse array of potential meals for the rainbows, making them discerning in their choices and occasionally fussy – a true test for advanced fishermen. To meet this challenge head-on, come prepared with an arsenal of flies including micro leach, olive damsels, bead head leach, pumpkin heads, and a range of chironomids such as copper head, snow cone, and red rib copper head.
Make it a priority to carry fish-friendly nets, which are also available for rent, aiding in the gentle handling of your catch, always ensuring they remain in the water and are given ample time to recover before being released back into their natural habitat. We encourage youth to fly fish! 12 years and under get to fish for free.

It is here, amidst the grandeur of nature, where anglers are not merely visitors, but become part of a storied tradition of respect, conservation, and the pure joy of fishing.
