GUIDED
DAY TRIPS
Full guided day trips can be arranged, ranging between
$250 and $300/day per person (based on 2 people).
Price includes guide, boat & gas, flies, professional
fly-fishing and casting instruction and a hearty packed
lunch. There are many guided destinations to choose
from – Quesnel Lake, Rivers (Horsefly, Mitchell, Cariboo,
Quesnel), and nearby small trophy lakes (Oslie, Hen
Ingram, Klinne, Keno, and Melissa).
If
you are new to our fishing 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.
Note:
Our guides do not live on site and may require
a 2-day minimum booking when guiding. One day of guiding
may be possible if someone else has booked within
the dates you are enquiring.

Sample
Itinerary:
Day
1. Begin your journey at the Williams Lake Airport
or Train Station. Take an easy 1 ½ hour shuttle east
to Quesnel Lake via the town of Horsefly. Arrive in
time to relax in the hot tub before enjoying a scrumptious
dinner in our panoramic dining room. Fall asleep to
the hauntingly, restful sound of the loons.
Day
2. After beginning your day with a scrumptious breakfast,
enjoy a 2 hour back-road journey along the Horsefly
River and West Arm of Quesnel Lake to our jet boat
location at historic Quesnel Forks. Here you can relive
the gold rush of the largest town north of San Francisco
in the mid 1800’s. Experience the excitement of a
jet boat trip down the white waters of Quesnel River
to Quesnel River Lodge, the homestead of Quesnel Hydraulic
Gold Mine and Town site. You can also be assured of
a fun and exciting ride to the hot fishing spots.
Sit by the 24 foot tall river-rock fireplace and eat
a hearty home cooked lunch. Learn about the history
of this historic town site developed in the early
1900’s.
After
returning to the resort, enjoy a soak in the tub or
canoe ride before having dinner and a cocktail on
the patio.
Day
3. Start your morning with a hearty breakfast, before
trekking up to the playground area for one hour of
optional instruction with your guide on the art of
fly casting. Then, by boat, you will follow beautiful
sandy beaches of the North Arm while bucktailing and
casting for wild rainbow trout. If it is big rainbows
or big Bull Trout you hunger for, we should be your
destination. You will also find ample opportunity
to observe Giant Ancient Cedar Rain Forests and long
sandy beaches while keeping your eyes open for wildlife.
Time will be provided for you to have a tasty picnic
lunch on the shore.
Once
back at the resort, relax and unwind, or enjoy a short
canoe ride before heading to the lodge for dinner
and a sunset.
Day
4. Wake up to a wholesome breakfast and grab your
camera for this spectacular boat ride and fishing
adventure up the rocky shores of the East Arm. Search
for mountain goats along the rocky cliffs and see
natural wonders such as our very own 200 foot Niagara
Falls. Here at the falls you will enjoy a delicious
shore lunch.
Back
at the resort, enjoy a game of horse shoes or badminton,
or simply relax in one of the outdoor hammocks. Mosey
over to the lodge to enjoy one of the cook’s daily
features and a bottle of wine.
Day
5. Have a final Elysia Resort breakfast, say “so
long” to new friends, and then be taken to the
Airport or Train Station for your trip home.
