You can fish Jaffre park without a guide. Not too far from Whistler. The park has 3 alpine lakes on an ascending trail to the base of the glacier. The first and lowest lake on the trail is only300 yards from the parking lot. Its a pale azure turquoise color from the glacial till that runs off the mountain.

The rainbows grow very slowly in at this altitude as the feeding season is so short. Just wade out to casting distance from the ravenous risers and you should be able to catch 10 in 20 minutes as I did last year.

I also took a quided trip through the Guide service already mentioned. They will take you for salmon or trout river or lake. Very affable characters. Fished till I couldn't anymore. Learned alot about freestone fishing. Used my education later in the week to fish streams on Vacouver Island.
