The Pique of Whistler Flyfishing

While Whistler’s mainstay draws include hiking, biking, and “shredding the gnar”/local bar scene, British Columbia’s mega ski resort also offers a myriad of underrated fishing opportunities—from stillwaters to steelheading. This recent article from The Pique “The Ultimate Whistler Fish Story” delivers a detailed look at a community rooted in angling adventure, dating back to the early 1900s.

“While the big draws now are skiing and snowboarding, mountain bike riding and golf, Whistler’s original recreational pursuit is still big business. At least 14 guides are currently offering their services to visitors searching for a fishing adventure in or near Whistler.

“And every Father’s Day Whistler is reminded of its fishing roots as Dads and kids take to the waters of Alta Lake for the annual fishing celebration.

“Back in 1914 anglers looking for a great new fishing adventure gave Whistler its start as a destination resort.

“This fish story begins on the deck of the Rainbow Lodge on the quiet shore of Summit Lake, or Alta Lake, as we know it now.”
