Flyfishing

A particularly harsh winter back in 1989-1990 is in some ways responsible for a thriving flyfishing movement in the area. That year, many of the area’s lakes experienced winter kill, making the stocking of the affected lakes necessary. Local fish and game groups introduced salmonoid species to these lakes, most notable rainbow and brown trout. To the surprise of many, and to the delight of anglers everywhere, the experiment was a resounding success.

The fishing experience you can have in Rossburn is one of the best ever. The beautiful scenery, sizable trout and peaceful, relaxing and isolated lakes all provide you with the sense that you are fishing in paradise.
