Fish Fernie with FWA  FWA-Fly-Fishing-Fernie

The scenic Elk River is an exceptional dry-fly river, with a season starting in late June, producing excellent dry-fly fishing throughout the hot summer months – and often carrying on right into October. With wild populations of West Slope cutthroat trout, bull trout and whitefish, the Elk River and its tributaries sport some of the largest Bull trout found anywhere (up to 15 lbs) and cutthroat ranging around 19″.

A guided float-trip in a Mackenzie-style drift boat is a great way to get to know the local action on the Elk, while many of the smaller rivers and tributaries are ideally suited for wading and can produce a good number of large fish.

If you are interested in booking a guided fly-fishing package combined with a stay at the Park Place Lodge, please contact the sales team at Fernie Wilderness Adventures.

Guest Testimonials

Great Hotel and perfect spot in downtown Fernie. Stayed here for 2 nights July 27-29th. Easy access to hiking , walking trails. Excellent views from our balcony. Mountain views No matter which way we looked. Indoor pool and hot tub in the middle of the hotel. Huge open area with lots of comfortable seating. Has nice liquor, wine and beer store within the complex. Great hot and cold breakfast with nice selection. Orange juice you pour straight from the jug, not from a machine. We had a nice breakfast which consisted of scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, home fries, bake beans, fresh fruit, and pancakes. Location was super has right down town. Onsite Bar and Pub is closed on Mondays so we went to Riverview Bar & Grill just down the street situated beside river flowing through the town. Decor and scenery were great. Food and service were excellent. The next day we ate at the onsite Pub. Service and food were excellent. Decor inside was nice. Both places we are at had patios but because in was very hot we elected to eat inside. Overall, we loved everything about Fernie. Even went to Fernie Alpine Resort to take the chair lift up for hiking. Resort also well know for mountain bike back to the base. 5 out of 5 Stars
