What is it that creates the passion fly fishing enthusiasts have for the sport? Maybe it’s a craving for the wild that sits quietly until the weekend warrior can get out of the city. Maybe it’s the solitude of standing alone in a rushing river after spending the week dealing with people, paperwork and responsibility. Maybe it’s the rush of adrenaline when the hook is set and the fish takes off, trying to escape and playing the line. Everything comes together, and people who love to fish experience a devotion to the sport that can motivate intense research, international travel and environmental action.
Most will have to pursue it on weekends, or on well planned trips to lodges with the support of guides. There’s a high level of trust that clients put in their caregivers, to unlock the secrets of the river while managing the details of gear, transportation and whether there will be lunch - plus being interesting, informative and patient teachers.
But the investment in money, time and (most importantly) hope is big, so when a guide or fishing lodge in BC fails to live up to expectations it can be pretty disappointing. With all the variety of factors that the run-off, weather, hatches and unknowns can throw together, it’s a good idea to eliminate the human variables if possible.
Self promotion by fguides, and promotion of lodges will always focus on the strengths; an independent, vetted list of fly fishing guides like that provided by Holy Waters can be a more reliable source of information. With guides on the Elk, Fraser, Harrison, Squamish, Mamquam and Cheakamus, Pitt, Columbia and Kootenay rivers, plus knowledge of the smaller tributaries and secret nooks nearby, the guides listed on Holy Waters guarentee an avid fisherman can get to a sure thing.
Holy Waters has taken the time to visit each location, stay at every accommodation and fish with every guide. You can be assured that you will be fishing with a professional that knows the waters, knows the hatches, knows the techniques and will take care of you as you deserve to be taken care of. If they don't meet our expectations, we know they won't meet yours. Fly fishing travel is an investment in time and money and your lodge hosts or fly fishing guides need to understand that you do not have an endless supply of either. Holy Waters was conceived to eliminate the guesswork when planning a fly fishing adventure in British Columbia.
For excellent guides who would rather think about fishing than self-promotion, a partnership with a business that can take care of things is a great way to get the awareness out and the bookings up.
