Heli Fly Fishing

Little known and virtually untouched, Clayoquot Sound’s fiercely guarded secret fishing spots are accessible only by helicopter, offering keen anglers exclusive access to prime fishing locations. The remote, pristine waterways are home to hidden deep green pools, shady eddies and rocky riffles – the stuff of legend.

The hook of this adventure is specialty guide Mike Archer, who brings over a decade of fly fishing experience and holds Canada’s only professional licence to fish Strathcona National Park. Born and raised on Vancouver Island, Mike’s local knowledge of the untouched alpine lakes where large trout are still in abundance is unparalleled.

As a fisherman come artist, Mike’s passion for fishing extends to handcrafting bespoke bamboo rods and seasonally specific flies. For keen anglers, it’s fair to say a day spent in the remote back-country with Mike will become dinner party conversation for years to come. Limited availability, advanced reservation required.
