BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA
Good People - Good Water - Good Fish
British Columbia is part of the 2016 Banff trip. British Columbia, Oregon, and Washington were an afterthought. After staying in Alberta, Canada, I realized I could do British Columbia, Oregon, and Washington before going home. It would mean a non-stop trip to Chicago for 33 hours. Leaving at midnight, I would cross the continental divide and arrive at the border of British Columbia and Washington state. I would try to fish both in the early morning.
​
As the sun rose, I stopped at a perfect Canada DNR spot off the road, only 15 miles from the border. It was a beautiful morning, and I'm sad about what I missed seeing crossing the Canadian Rockies during the night. However, it took only 10 minutes to hike and catch my British Columbia, Canada Rainbow Trout on the Pend Oreille River.

British Columbia is Done!
