Casting to Atlantic salmon in gin clear water
The Flowers River is renowned for its clear waters, gentle gradients, and well-structured pools, offering a wade-friendly terrain suitable for anglers of all skill levels.
With its exceptional clarity, the river lends itself to true sight-fishing. Dry fly anglers can target salmon in visible lies, often rising to small patterns – sometimes as fine as size 10s or 12s. When conditions line up, it’s technical, visual, and seriously rewarding.
Access to prime waters on our motorized canoes
Anglers regularly encounter salmon in the 8–12 lb range, with the possibility of hooking into fish exceeding 20 lbs. As the season moves on, Arctic char show up, adding another dimension to the fishing. They’ll take swung flies, nymphs, and streamers, and offer reliable action when the salmon get picky.
Access to the river’s best water is made easy with motorized canoes, allowing guides to cover ground efficiently and reach productive stretches throughout the day. It’s a practical, low-impact way to navigate the river and keep you in the action.
The guides know the river inside out, rotating anglers through productive beats to keep them engaged. It’s a no-pressure, no-rush fishery where the rhythm of the river sets the pace. If you’re focused on easy wading, great fishing, and time well spent on the river, Flowers River delivers.
