Fishing Adventure

Eureka Peak Lodge is located in the eastern portion of the Cariboo region, nestled in the Cariboo Mountains adjacent to Wells Gray Provincial Park. We have a cozy log lodge on picturesque and remote Gotchen Lake and are the only ones on the lake, ensuring complete privacy for our guests. We can accommodate up to twelve persons but prefer to have only eight to ten guests at a time to provide a more personalized service. We offer three to seven day fishing packages from June to September, which include: lodging in comfortable, modern lake shore log cabins, maid service, guide service, boats, motors and belly boats, angling licenses, fish cleaning, smoking and vacuum packing. There are horses and tack for those wanting a horseback fishing experience. Breakfasts and dinners are served in the lodge dining room, while lunches are usually eaten picnic style while out fishing.

We fish numerous lakes, streams and rivers for wild rainbow trout, lake trout, bull trout and kokanee. In order to maintain a high quality fishing experience, we encourage our clientele to practice catch and release techniques and to only keep a few select fish to savor for the smokehouse or barbecue. Our waters have rainbows up to 15 pounds, bull trout to 17 pounds, lake trout (char) up to 30 pounds and kokanee up to 1 1/2 pounds. Fly fishing and spin casting are both excellent methods of luring the rainbow to your net, while trolling is the most successful method used in catching lake trout and kokanee. We have everything from fast action fishing, where you could conceivably catch and release more than 100 feisty trout a day, to stalking beautiful trophy rainbows in a crystal clear river, comparable to the best in Alaska.

During your stay, you can fish Gotchen and nearby walk in lakes and we will take you by vehicle on daily excursions to other lakes and streams. For our guests who would like even more of an adventure, we offer a horseback fishing experience. On these horseback rides, we pack in by horseback from one to three hours to a remote wilderness lake, with wild rainbow trout in the 1 to 6 pound range. We offer drift trips along the Horsefly River, a classified river that is catch and release and fly fishing only with a single, barb less hook. Rainbow trout have been recorded in the river up to 28 pounds. Naturally, the larger trout are more difficult to attract. However, many wild rainbows can be caught daily in the 2 to 10 pound range. The Mitchell River has the same attributes as the Horsefly but is more remote and fly fishing only. We also arrange fly-outs to several other inaccessible lakes for our guests, if desired.
