If staying at a 5 star back country lodge is on your bucket list, then Lake O’Hara Lodge should be considered. Located just west of Lake Louise in Yoho National Park, this venue allows a person to be literally off the grid. There is no TV or radio to distract you from the pristine beauty that Lake O’Hara offers. As a fly fisher, the fly fishing experience has taken me into some very beautiful and special places with O’Hara being one of my special places. Our annual trek to O’Hara provides many options for hiking with numerous trails offering spectacular mountain vistas and lots of wild flowers. There is also good cutthroat fishing in some of the lakes that are fed with glacial water. Hatches of mayflies, caddis and some tiny stoneflies are available to the fish. Like many alpine lakes, there are times when the dry fly action is outstanding but I found that most of the action was below the surface: challenging and rewarding at the same time. I look forward to my next Lake O’Hara experience.
