We fished in August above Sparwood BC and found a nice braided area with small channels where we actually found the biggest fish. Watch video at https://youtu.be/f_WDPdD2Ty8

A beautiful Cutthroat. Over 20 inches. We caught several large trout and many other nice fish. Mostly on the dry. The Elk is a fantastic River.

Posts: 2		It was a short walk from the car. There is quite a bit of good access on this river without too much of a walk. This was a braided area so the main river is pretty big but we still caught fish walk a wading the bigger water.

Posts: 2733		Thanks for the information. I'm somewhat handicapped and can only walk with the aid of a cane and not much more than about 250 yards without getting hip pain.

I looked it up on YouTube and their is a Asian fellow who has a channel "Fishing with Rod" and he has a neat video on the Elk River where he and some friends float it in Out Cast pontoon boats. They too found good fishing for 16" - 18" cutthroat in a side channel.
