Salmon Trip

[bhobson]

Looking for suggestions.


One of my fishing buddies suggested we try a 2019 road trip to BC and do some walk and wade salmon fishing. I did some google searches and tons of info on river/stream salmon fishing. My grey matter can only hold so much info, I was getting confused.

Criteria for the trip, can be changed if necessary:
1. Out of Edmonton area thus a maximum 2 day drive
2. Must be affordable. I would like to do a lodge trip but wallet cannot afford that.
3. Accommodation would probably be in a motel. I do not think my fishing buddy would enjoy tenting.
4. At least 2 days of fishing. At least the 1st day would be with a guide.
5. Might have to rent rods. I think my biggest rod is a 6 wt 9'
6. We practice catch and release; however, if possible to bring home one salmon would be icing on the cake.
7. Time of year fairly flexible.

I'm going to continue my research. Any help appreciated.
