About Kootenay Wild Fishing Charters
Kootenay Wild Fishing Charters offers guided sport-fishing trips on Kootenay Lake out of the Nelson area, one of British Columbia's premier freshwater fisheries. The West Kootenays' deep, cold lake is renowned among anglers for its trophy fish, and Kootenay Wild puts visitors on the water with experienced local guides who know where and how to find them.
Their fully equipped charters target the lake's famous Gerrard rainbow trout — one of the largest strains of rainbow in the world — along with bull trout and other resident species, using proven trolling techniques from a comfortable cabin cruiser. Trips are tailored to all skill levels, with gear, tackle and instruction provided, making them suitable for seasoned anglers and families trying lake fishing for the first time.
The draw of a Kootenay Wild charter is the combination of a genuinely world-class fishery and friendly, knowledgeable guiding. Guests spend the day surrounded by the dramatic mountain scenery of the West Arm and main lake while chasing the kind of oversized trout that have built Kootenay Lake's international reputation.
