Dolly Vardon Information

Average 16 to 30 inches with trophies up to 15 lbs. Dolly Vardon Char can be caught throughout the season, with the later part of August and the whole month of September being the best months.

Bag Limit

We enforce a policy of catch and release on all Dolly Vardon Char. Feel free to take as many photos as you can before we slip these beautiful hard fighting fish back into their home waters.

Fishing Techniques

Char are fished from drift boats and from shore with fly rods and spinning rods - just like fishing for Rainbow trout. In fact, when trout fishing you never know when a Dolly Vardon will strike your fly. Dolly Vardon Char and Rainbow trout live in the same areas of the river and feed on the same foods.

Regulations

Regulations require single hook, artificial lures. Flies, spinners, plugs all can be used to seduce Dolly Vardon Char into biting. Fly fishing and catering to fly fisher persons is our forte.
