Another peaceful evening in the Peace Country-perfect for a fly fishing trip!  We tossed all our gear in the truck and headed down to the shores of the Murray River near Chetwynd, near the confluence of the Murray and Pine rivers.

This little spot was perfect for the kids, as there's a warm creek running through the beach that they could play in while the adults fished the river.  I caught a beautiful rainbow trout that evening too!

Access to the shore is down a very rough gravel road-inquire locally for directions.  The dust and bumps are totally worth it for the beautiful view of the river valleys and the warm, sandy beach.

 Last weekend, my partner and I loaded up the kids with their new toy fishing rods and headed out to try our luck in a new fishing spot.  We headed down a popular back road and found ourselves a great little fishing hole along the Sukunka River, just south of Chetwynd.

While we didn't have any luck catching fish, we certainly had a great evening playing in the water and teaching the kids to cast their "flies" (mostly sticks and leaves!).

The Sukunka Forest Service Road is a very busy road, and anyone travelling it must use a radio.
