Dolly Varden

Dolly Varden are one of, if not the, most beautiful fish in our river. With their orange tipped kype, deep orange bellies, white and black striped fins and blue-green backs dotted with orange spots outlined in electric aqua are a remarkable sight to see.

Recommended Gear

Fly Rods: We recommend 4 weight to 6 weight medium to fast action rods capable of casting split shot with a strike indicator, and dealing with the occasional big rainbow or sockeye.

Reels: Good quality reel and drag that matches rod.

Lines: Floating lines are best
