Thank you very much for the experience we had over there the past week. It is really a lifetime experience and an amazing environment to be in.

Your kindness and excellent hosting were impeccable and a very important thing for us in this trip. Also getting to know such amazing people like Felix, Cade, Nick, and all the amazing people we got to know in our stay there.

Being such inexperienced fishers (that's a very nice way to say that "we suck at fishing"), and learning from you, (and also cursing at each other between us 3, which made the experience more enjoyable). made those days unforgettable. And the landscapes.... what a paradise.

And what can I say about Lee, what an outstanding hostess. Just to thank her would not make her justice. So all our love to her. And your cooking....amazing. "Que amor de mujer!!!!, muchas gracias".

So speaking on behalf of us three, Thank you very much for your attentions, your patience (those scaring bear Tourists!!!!), and your kindness. We hope we can go back there soon.

Lee and Danny,

What a fabulous place you have! Jack and I had such a wonderful vacation at your lodge. He arrived back in Oklahoma City with a high fever and what I think is a case of bronchitis, yet I can hear him on the phone telling his doctor all about our great fishing trip and the 45 large sockeye salmon he caught. You are two amazing individuals and I'm in awe of all you do to run your lodge.

It goes without saying that fly fishing was the treat of a lifetime. And your cooking, Lee, was unbelievable. Our guides were two of the best, and our accommodations were perfect. In all my years of traveling around the globe, I have to admit that this was the first time an owner ever drew my bath. It's obvious that your goal is to please and to provide a memorable fishing trip, and you more than exceeded out expectations. We're anxious to plan a return visit.

Lee, I'm really going to miss you and our chats. Have a wonderful trip to Cuba. I only hope you find a resort where you will be pampered like we were.

Thanks from both of us.

I just wanted to send you a huge thank you to you and Dan. It was a wonderful trip. Great food, great fishing, great company, and a beautiful river. I appreciate you being so understanding about David. He is really wishing he would have sucked it up, especially after seeing the photos! We do plan on coming back. Both of you are special people to welcome strangers into your home every day and make us feel like old friends. How about adding to your Emergency Response Vehicle ... Ready to take you to your Pitt River adventure.

Thanks again!

Hello Lee,

I just wanted to write and thank you again for your hospitality while Skip and I were there. It was truly a wonderful time. Everyone was so friendly and kind. I hope all is well with you and Danny and you are getting a little break as you expected. I hope to be contacting you soon to book for next year. A number of people are getting excited in Boise as I pass around fishing reports so maybe it will result in even more business.

Take care and thank you again.

Now that we are back down under I just wanted to send you both a thank you note for the wonderful time we had at your lodge. Thanks for all your hard work and for providing such a great atmosphere. I suspect we will be back sooner rather than later. Please let Dan know my fish spotting skills have improved!!!!!

Kind regards,

Danny and Lee--Thanks again for a GREAT three days on the Pitt! The river is beautiful and great fun to fish, even when Nick leads you through forests of Devil's Club to get there! You are both great hosts! And Lee, I loved your cooking. I can't wait to get back up there. Will be in touch. Best Regards, Bob Pearson

The fishing was outstanding, bulltrout to 6Ibs consistantly, cutthroat and steelhead all taken on a fly in waters a flyfisherman can usually only dream to fish, and sufficient space that other guests were not encountered during the course of the day. We will be returning to sample the fall coho fishery and the summer trout dryfly fishing.

I was just up at the lodge in March. Had some of the best fishing I have ever had. Lots of Dolly Varden, Bull Trout, Rainbows plus a really nice Cutthroat. All the fish are of good size & crome. Danny & Lee are great hosts. I can't wait to get back up there.

Hi.Found your site through anglers atlas. Had a thourough look thru and have enjoyed your info. Saw the Upper Pitt for the first time a while ago on Sportfishing BC. Looks like the fisherman's paradise!! Hopefully I will be able to see it first hand one of these days. Question: can you access the lodge by jet boat? Regards, Ken Grant.

I spent the weekend on the river last August 17-19...Wow wee! The fishing was a lifetime of memories packed into every sockeye. The fish were awesome, country was beautiful, and Danny and Lee make you feel as if you are part of the family... I've fished all over the US and for the past twenty five years and this past trip ranks in the top ten of best all time. If you are thinking of going to the lodge...go!!! I'll see you in November for the Coho!

I took my thirteen year old grandson fly fishing at Pitt River Lodge. We had great fishing and Danny knew all the good places to find fish. The accomodations at the lodge were very comfortable and the food was excellent. We felt like special guests in someone home. Danny and Lee did everything possible to make the trip enjoyable for me and my grandson. He and I are ready to go back next year.

Dan & Lee, Thanks again for the great three day weekend. I'd heard all about the Pitt River from my fishing buddies up in Vancouver and it lived up to the high praise and then some. We landed dozens of Bull Trout, Dollies, Cutthroat and Rainbow. We also hooked a couple nice Steelhead, but they ended up winning the fight (long line release). Cindy and I appreciated all the hospitality and local knowledge. Even the drives back and forth to fish every day proved to be exciting. It seemed like every corner we drove around Danny pointed out a bear or had a story to share about the local lore. Everything felt like we were in SE Alaska, except it only took 3 hours to get to the boat from Seattle! Great cabins too. What a great way to spend a couple of days without traveling a long distance or breaking the bank. I'll be back soon. Sincerely, Kris Solvang

I have had the opportunity to fish many rivers in British Columbia. The Pitt River is becoming one of my favourites and has earned a special place in my heart. Part of what makes it so special is the diverse species of fish. On the right day you can catch rainbows, bulls, cutthroat, steelhead and salmon. What more could you want? This is one of the last remaining rivers in Vancouver's Lower Mainland that has not been destroyed by development and industry. It is like going back in time. Thanks for the great memories Danny & Lee

Danny and Lee: Thank-you for an unforgettable weekend of superb fly-fishing, breath-taking scenery and fantastic food and company. I caught and released many big, strong bull trout and landed the largest most beautiful rainbow trout of my life. This big, wild 'bow caught some big air with a tremendous leap followed by a long, pulse-quickening run across a lovely rolling pool of clear water. Surrounded by mountains, bald eagles and the distant calls of migrating geese, it'll be some time before I stop day-dreaming about that one! Danny's an expert guide, Lee's a terrific cook and host. What more can I say? I'll be back!

We had great spring fishing. Lots of big, wild trout. An unbelievable steelhead. And all of it in a beautiful landscape. And Lee's cooking was great! What a way to start the fishing season....

Spectacular fishing (5 pound bull trout by the dozen) combined with breath taking scenery and warm hospitality make Pitt River Lodge a Fisherman's paradise. Trophies every cast!!!

Thanks to the folks at Pitt River Lodge, another stunning day in this wilderness paradise that puts meaning to the phrase "more fish than you can shake a stick at". Our little team caught and released countless Dolly Varden and Bull Trout to 5 pounds, hooked a Steelhead which broke off after a spectacular run and watched Danny catch a couple of fat Rainbow Trout that had beautiful spotting and coloring. And all this just miles away from downtown Vancouver. Its days like this that will keep us coming back time and time again.
