About Bull River

Bull River cuts through British Columbia, Canada and offers classic stream fishing. The local patterns are the universal river patterns: fish the heads of pools at first light, the deep slow water in the middle of the day, and the tail-outs as light fades. Light tackle and a careful drift go a long way at Bull River — heavy splashes spook a whole pool.

Fishing Techniques

• For Westlope cutthroat trout

  Westlope cutthroat trout are often found in clear, cold streams; fish upstream, presenting your bait or lure naturally and avoiding spooking the fish by keeping a low profile.

• For Bull trout

  Bull trout often lurk near structure like fallen trees or undercut banks, so target these areas with your presentations.

• For Rainbow trout

  Vary your retrieve speed when using spinners to find what triggers a strike; sometimes a slow, steady retrieve works best, while other times a faster, erratic retrieve is more effective.
