Incredible Fly-Fishing
The Mitchell River, Quesnel River, Horsefly River, Cariboo River, Quesnel Lake and the surrounding waters are home to a unique strain of large and aggressive wild native Rainbow Trout. Let our professional guides introduce you to spectacular guided dry fly-fishing on the Mitchell River, Horsefly River, Quesnel River, and Cariboo River. Your guided river fly-fishing experience will excite you & challenge your skills as you pursue these trophy Rainbow Trout in a pristine British Columbia setting that rates second to none. In addition to these fantastic Rainbow Trout, be prepared to get into your backing as our guides expose you to the challenge of trying to land a large Bull Trout amongst the Salmon that are completing their amazing life cycle in the rivers of this ecosystem.

Types of Fish

Rainbow Trout, Bull Trout

Between mid-June and mid-October, our professional guides focus on four magnificent rivers that produce some of the finest Rainbow Trout fly-fishing on the planet - The Horsefly River, Cariboo River, Quesnel River and Mitchell River.

The Horsefly and Quesnel Rivers both produce a beautiful bright colored rainbow trout that reach up to 28 inches long however we have a lodge record of a 33 inch rainbow on the Horsefly River. What a HOG!!"

The Cariboo River produces Rainbow Trout up to 18 inches, and, being a glacial water body, it also offers Bull Trout that will get into the mid 30 inch range. One can experience catching wild native British Columbian Rainbow Trout that have never been caught before. This is guided fly-fishing in its purest form. Another experience that is hard to find... you will likely not see another fisher on our waters as Northern Lights is the only fly fishing lodge in the area & holds over 70% of the licensed rod days in this 2,000,0000+ acre watershed.

About Us

Northern Lights Lodge has offered exceptional fishing for over sixty years and has specialized in dry fly-fishing for the past seven years. With the quality of wild native Rainbow & Bull trout this area offers, this is truly world-class fly-fishing.

Northern Lights Lodge is located on the shore close to the outflow of beautiful Quesnel Lake - the deepest fresh water fjord in the world, stretching 75 miles to the end of the "East Arm" and 55 miles to the end of the "North Arm".

The main Lodge was built on the shore of Quesnel Lake in 1942 by the Hale family from Vancouver. Built of cedar logs from its Quesnel Lake property, this building continues to add to the countless memories that have been made here for over sixty years.

In the late 90's Northern Lights Lodge underwent a three year restoration project to better serve the accommodational needs of their guests. The owners - Al, Jan, Skeed and Sharon, are extremely pleased with the results and are looking forward to sharing the outcome of their hard work with their friends and guests.

Your hosts - Skeed & Sharon Borkowski, 50-plus year residents to the area - and their personable staff will give you their full attention and are devoted to making this your favourite destination lodge.

The lodge is fortunate to have an 75% return guest rate and the hosts do thank their many new friends for their patronage.

Eight rooms are located around the perimeter of the Lodge accessed by a wrap-around deck providing private entrances into each room. For added privacy, at no additional cost, couples are generally offered cabins for their stay.

For your pleasure a complimentary fly-tying bench is set up in the common room. It's equipped with vices and all the accessories needed tor make your own flies; enthusiast and novice alike find this a great way to spend the evening by the fireplace.

Northern Lights Lodge also offers a fly shop that is well stocked with quality flies, fly-fishing clothes and other accessories.
