Wild Rose Ranch

KIMBERLEY, British Columbia–Imagine the dream of dropping a fly into crystal clear mountain streams teeming with wild cutthroat trout and having limited or no contact with other anglers.

Wild Rose Ranch is that dream destination.  The resident guide, Barry Rogers, does not blindfold his fishermen, but he takes them to special places they want to keep secret for their second, third and other visits.

Fishing is best on the streams from mid-June through September.  Group fly fishing packages are available for beginners to experts, with lessons, gear, float trips, walk and wade, and fishing ‘hideaways’ or ‘mainstreet’ on three classified waters. There is plenty of fresh air and room to breathe when fishing in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Uncrowded and unspoiled waters await anglers, as they enjoy the wide range of excellent trout fishing opportunities in the East Kootenays. Wild Rose Ranch gives guests a chance to work with small flies, moving water and cagey fish on three blue ribbon trout rivers.

The rivers offer rainbow, brook, cutthroat and bull trout. Some areas are ‘catch and release’ only. Guests can troll or spin cast, but Wild Rose’s fishing experience is predominantly fly fishing on the Skookumchuck River, St. Mary’s River and the Bull River.

Wild Rose Ranch is nestled behind a glacial moraine which forms the northern edge of Wolf Creek. This beautiful guest ranch reflects the heritage of Western Canada - with over 12,000 acres of wildland that includes open grassland, pine forests, and sparkling rivers.

Guests will enjoy comfortable accommodations located in either a modern cedar lodge or cabin each with its own private bath. Everyone knows that a good meal tastes even better after a day spent in the great outdoors. Meals are served family-style in the dining room or outside on the deck overlooking Wolf Creek.

The table at meal time emanates mouth watering aromas from an appealing variety of home-baking and cooking, complemented by fresh fruit and vegetables. Wine is served with afternoon appetizers and with dinner. Guests are welcome to bring their own liquor. After dinner, guests can soak in the hot tub or perhaps take a stroll to Mildred’s Pond.

A fly fishing trip to Wild Rose Ranch is sure to spawn some wild fish tales.  The owners, Shannon Langley and Barry Rogers, look forward to sharing their home and the incredible secrets of fly fishing at Wild Rose Ranch.
