Moose
Camp Fishing Resort offers visitors
to British Columbia, Canada a freshwater fish and wilderness
experience that few other fishing resorts offer. Come enjoy
a relaxing vacation of fly-fishing, hiking, waterfalls and
lots of wildlife as you sit back and relax on the vacation
that you've been waiting for a life time! Friendly service,
comfort and great food are to be expected while you make
your stay in one of four fully furnished log cabins. Wake
up to the smell of Canadian back bacon and flap jacks, enjoy
the surroundings of the fishing resort and then make sure
you get back in time to feast on an incredible dinner prepared
to your liking. For those who want more, they can leave the
fishing resort and go by helicopter to their very own lake
to fish in the true wilderness... can it get any better than
that!
When planning your fishing adventure, you will
find Moose
Camp Fishing Resort offers a variety of lakes to fish
within hiking distance, as well as several lakes that require
a four wheeler trip to reach them. We fish in approximately 20
lakes, varying in elevation from 4,000 to 5,800 feet. Fishing
is therefore excellent from mid-May until October. The average
sized fish is from 1 to 4 pounds, with 6 pounds waiting for the
lucky fisherman.
Fishing is a
great sport that provides a wonderful relaxing vacation for
any age group. But whomever the fisher, and whatever the age,
these beautiful fighting Kamloops and native Rainbow trout
are certainly an exciting catch. Moose
Camp Fishing Resort is not just fishing!
While many come to enjoy the excellent fishing the area has to
offer, many come simply to relax and enjoy the incredible natural
surroundings. Protecting our pristine wilderness areas for generations
to come is a major concern of ours.
Bring your camera, as we have an abundance of
wild flowers and wildlife close to your cabin door. From your cabin,
you can see loons, bald eagles, deer, moose, osprey, herons, otters,
beavers, whiskey jacks, jays and hummingbirds, just to name a few.
was established
in the late 1880's as a trap line headquarters, by a French Canadian
named Ed Rioux, who also ran a few hunting
trips. Herbie McNeil took over and maintained the trap line, guided
hunting trips, and later fishing trips by horseback from the 100
Mile House area. The trap line is still in place.
Three generations of families have returned to enjoy the great
fishing and scenic beauty of the area. Access to Moose
Camp has improved over the years, from the days where
you rode in by horseback to the present time where you travel in
on a gravel road. This has ensured that guests of all ages can
enjoy Moose Camp.
Arriving from Kamloops,
British Columbia, you can rent a car, or make arrangements with camp
staff for transportation to Moose
Camp. Moose Camp is situated 120 kilometers
(75 miles) north of Kamloops, B.C. Once you arrive in Clearwater,
travel 34 kilometers (22 miles) up a groomed logging road (Camp #2).
Be sure to take the second fork in the road and then travel another
3 kilometers. You'll see a green gate on your left hand side.. that's
us. You'll have climbed a total of 4,000 feet before reaching our
parking area. Guests' belongings are transported into the camp by
all terrain vehicles, with guests taking a leisurely 10 minute stroll
up the trail to the camp. Transportation is provided for those unable
to negotiate the walk. Nestled in the beauty of natural surroundings, Moose
Camp is indeed a wonderful outdoor experience.
