The Flowers is an ideal fishery for new anglers who don't have a lot of wading experience, or for elderly fishermen who may not be quite as steady on their feet as they once were, but still love to wade.
The river, under most flows, is gin clear. In many of the pools, you will be able to see the fish and we challenge everyone to try and not pull too quickly, when you see a twenty pounder leave the bottom mouth open and head for your dry fly! We haven’t landed one yet, but there are anglers who claim, and even swear to the fact, that they’ve hooked fish in the forty pound class, but can’t hang on to them. Come and see for yourself!
Species
Arctic Char, Atlantic salmon
The following are our suggestions and we are happy to answer any questions you might have. First, we’d like to suggest that you bring at least two fly rods. The camp will have few sets of spare gear, but having an extra rod is always a good idea. 4pc rods are also easier to travel with than 2 piece rods.
Rods should be 8 1/2′ – 10′ designed for 7 – 9 weight floating lines. If you use a two handed rod, the Flowers is an ideal spot for you. Rarely do we have a problem with close quarters for back casts and, under average water conditions, we have some pretty large pools.
Two-handed rods, including switch and Spey rods, are useful on some pools. Rods ranging from 10 1/2′ – 13′, casting light Scandi heads in the 390-480 gran weights, are the most useful. Our pools are very View more...quiet”, so touch-and-go Scandi casts are favoured over the skagit style, water-born casts.
