Welcome

Hey there, fellow angler! I'm Dylan Brebner, aka the Chilcotin Angler, your guide to the epic fishing adventures of BC's Chilcotin region.

Growing up at Tsuniah Lake Lodge felt like being part of an endless adventure, where every day brought new discoveries and thrilling experiences. Surrounded by majestic mountains and the invigorating scent of pine, the lodge was not just a place to stay but a vibrant hub of outdoor exploration. Since I was a little tyke, I've been drawn to the sparkling waters of Tsuniah Lake like a magnet. Fishing became more than just a pastime—it became a passion that infused my childhood with excitement and wonder.

As I entered my teenage years, I landed a job at the dock. Being a dockhand wasn't just about the work—it was an education in itself. While I officially cleaned fish and tended to boats, the real education came from the seasoned fishermen who frequented the dock. They generously shared their expertise, teaching me the finer points of casting, reading the water, and understanding the habits of the fish. Those moments spent listening to their stories and learning from their experiences were invaluable, shaping me into the angler I am today.

But amidst the hustle and bustle of dock life, there was always the allure of Chilko Lake calling to me. Just a short jaunt away, Chilko Lake offered a whole new world of fishing opportunities. Its crystal-clear waters and abundance of bull trout made it an angler's paradise. Whenever I could steal some time away, I'd head over to Chilko Lake for some serious fishing action. Each trip was an adventure filled with anticipation and excitement, adding depth and richness to my love for the wilderness of British Columbia.
