Walkout Creek

Walkout Creek 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 Walkout Creek — heavy splashes spook a whole pool.

Fishing Techniques

• 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.

• For Coastal cutthroat trout

  Focus on fishing near structure like fallen logs, undercut banks, and overhanging vegetation, as coastal cutthroat trout often ambush prey from these locations.

• For Chinook salmon

  Vary your retrieve speed and depth until you find what the fish are responding to, as their preferences can change daily.
