Our
Guides
Our Guide in Residence, Quille Farnham, is
probably the most experienced guide on Quesnel Lake.
Her first hand experience on Quesnel Lake, as well
as the nearby stillwaters, streams and rivers, helps
reveal to guests a blue-ribbon fishery, which rivals
any of the hallowed waters in North America.
In
addition to guiding guests on the water, Quille also
maintains hours in the lodge where she offers several
things:
1.
Comprehensive fishing orientations to new guests
2.
Two-on-one fishing direction and guidance
3.
Assistance in basic gear set up
4.
Fly tying demonstrations
As
a unique offering, offered only at Elysia Resort,
Quille is available at the lodge and is there just
for you. There is no charge for this service.
As our Resident Guide and Fishing Expert, Quille is
readily available at the lodge to enhance your fishing
experience, to make sure you are catching fish. To
help make this the best fishing trip you’ve ever
had.
If
you are new to our area, and it is within your budget,
we highly recommend that you hire a guide for at least
your first day of fishing. Quesnel Lake especially
is a huge water to fish and you will have far better
and faster results if you seek the wisdom of a guide.
For
the ultimate fishing trip, consider experiencing our
unique watershed on a fully guided package. Experience
the benefit of having a guide with you at all times
– have the experience of a lifetime. Having a
guide increases your likelihood of catching the fish
you have only dreamed of. Having a guide gives you
added comfort, safety and security on the water. Having
a guide gives you access to the secret lures and flies
guides normally share only amongst themselves.
Both
experts as well as beginners will find Quille's knowledge,
expertise and teaching style invaluable in their quest
for that special catch. No matter what your level
of competence, Quille's motto - "you never stop
learning" -- applies directly to this ecosystem.
Whether
its fly tying, fly casting or actually finding and
landing the big fish, you will be comforted to know
you are in the very capable hands of Quille Farnham
and our other guides.
We
have biographies and testimonials on all of our guides.
Further, all of our guides are licensed, have many
decades of experience and training, and have worked
for Elysia Resort for several years. Rest assured
you will be in very qualified hands at Elysia Resort.
Of
course, a first-rate guide service implies careful
attention to your comfort and safety on the water,
so relax in knowing that we keep our equipment very
carefully maintained.
