I live in Grande Prairie AB but grew up in Abbotsford, fishing the Thompson-Nicola stillwaters. I have around a week of vacation coming up, first week of July. I was planning to head down towards Hwy 24 or the Kamloops area again for some fly fishing, but with the rising costs of fuel and the heat this time of year I'm wondering if I'm better off staying up north and wandering over towards Chetwynd etc. I've never done much stillwater fishing north of PG, so it'd certainly be a new adventure.

Going to be travelling on my own, 4x4 pickup, Lowe 1240 with electric motor, tent camping. I prefer forest service sites to resorts ($$).

Any thoughts or suggestions?
