Fishing BC / Canada / Alaska Help

[Cowboypirate]

Make sure to include the Cassiar Highway as a route to your trip.


Head through Banff and Jasper.  No trip to that area is complete without seeing those Parks.
From Jasper, take Highway 16 to Prince George, and on to Kitwanga.  This will get you to the Cassiar Highway (37).  The area from Prince George to Houston is known as the "Lakes District".  There is more water in this area than you can ever hope to imagine fishing.  Salmon, pike, trout, lake trout, grayling.....whatever you want.  You could head to Terrace and get some world class salmon fishing on the Skena River.  Heck, continue to Prince Rupert and take the ferry back through the inland passage to Port Hardy, drive across Vancouver Island, then on to Vancouver / Seattle, if you want that to be your loop.  Or, get back to the Cassiar all the way up to Watson Lake and the Liard River -- the Liard is WAY cool!!  Take the 97 back down to Fort Nelson, Dawson Creek and Grand Prairie.

This would be fantastic trip -- something you'll never forget, and something you'll want to do again, and again, and again....


Once word of advice, considering that you're towing a trailer:  As you get further north (upper Cassiar, Watson Lake, etc...) the roads will get worse.  Expect sections of road (miles and miles) to be dirt, and under construction.  Take your time!  Go slow!  Don't rip your bumper off your truck hitting frost heaves.  Take an extra (or two) spare tires for the trailer, and maybe truck.

Be ready to fall in love with some spectacular country.

Been studying that route you suggest. Watched some youtubers RV it. It looks amazing. Definitely on the top of the list

If sticking to the coast driving north from the Seattle area visiting Birch Bay can be really fun. There's an RV park there. If you are there during a minus tide you can wade out really far never even getting to waist deep and find huge crabs and even small flounder you can catch by hand. There is a nice water park if that's your fancy. Or just sit on the beach and just RELAX.

I have been promising my bride for years a run around Victoria and a trip up the inside passage. She could sit in a tide pool forever. Or at least until I yell shark. Then I am sitting in it with a lump on my head.
