A working field guide to BC fly-fishing

The Field Journal is an angler's working knowledge of fly-fishing British Columbia — starting in the Creston Valley and the wider Kootenay & Columbia Basin, and expanding to anywhere within driving range.

The lens is practical: where to fish, what's there, what to throw, how to fish it, and how to get in. Every page is grounded in cited sources and the province's own open data — the same FISS observations, Freshwater Atlas layers, and fish-passage records that power our interactive maps.

Waters, fish, flies, and forage are cross-linked so a single fact — a hatch, a closure, a put-in — connects the pages that share it. It reads like a magazine and works like a field guide.
