We provide a fully guided wilderness experience for wildlife enthusiasts, photographers and sport fisherman. We specialize in small groups and make personal attention a priority."

Guests come to Rohrer to experience amazing Salmon fishing, in particular big hard fighting Coho (silvers) on a fly. Dolly Varden and rainbow trout are common too and provide great action, all on single handed rods in small river with shallow glides and deeper holding pools. Fishing is best from August through September. This small river offers big Coho Salmon with fish to 20 pounds. Spinning is allowed (gold number 3 Mepps) but most guests fly fish with egg sucking leech patterns (in black and purple colours) and Clousers (pink and white or green and white) on size 4 to 6 barbless single hooks.
Some guests do travel over in July principally for wildlife viewing and those same creeks that stack up with fresh migrating salmon have reasonable to good char and rainbow trout. Pink and chum salmon run around this time too.
