Your next vacation should be in Squamish BC
Here's Why:

Squamish is town of approximately 15,000 located 1 hour north of Downtown Vancouver, British Columbia nestled at the head of Howe Sound and at the base of Mount Garibaldi.

The Squamish River has 4 main tributaries including the Elaho River, Ashlu River, Cheakamus River, and Mamquam River. Including the Squamish river, these 4 rivers offer fly fishing for 4 of the pacific salmon species including Chinook (King), Chum (Dog), Coho (Silvers), and Pink (Humpies) when they return to spawn. The Squamish river system has a small run of Winter steelhead that may enter the system from late December through to May with the peak of the run in late March through to late April. Resident fish provide year round fly fishing opportunities for wild rainbow trout, cutthroat trout, and bull trout. There is always something to catch!

Squamish also has many small coastal lakes that hold natural and stocked rainbow and cutthroat trout. Float tubes, pontoon boats, or small car-topper boats are the best way to fish these lakes as there are no boat launches. Here are a few of the local lakes that you might fish on your own:
