John - non-residents MUST use a licensed guide in British Columbia to hunt any 'tag required' big game. You can fish without a guide.

Any of you forum friends want to come fishing - I'll take you out with me - you pay your part - your licenses & 1/2 the gas, food, lodging etc - I'll supply the boat and location, no charge.

The Stelako river (fly fishing only) is super incredible for rainbows - world renowned - class 1 water. Only 1 1/2 hour's drive from my home - just a bit West of here. Waders needed.

Another is the Babine River - dodging grizzlies for rainbows - HA! - just kidding?
