Adaptive Fishing

World-class angling, for every ability.

Quesnel Lake is full of wild rainbow, lake, and bull trout. We're a new non-profit raising funds for the adaptive gear that will put the catch of a lifetime within everyone's reach.

There's nothing quite like the pull of a giant wild rainbow trout on the line. Our goal is simple: make sure a spinal injury, chronic illness, or mobility need never stands between someone and that moment.

We have a pontoon boat on the water and a lake full of trout. What we're raising funds for is the adaptive equipment — electronic reels, specialized tackle, and roll-on ramps — that makes the sport possible for everyone. As a non-profit, every excursion we build toward will be provided at no cost to our participants.

A startup in progress: the adaptive gear below is what we need donations to acquire. Donate to help put a rod in every hand.
What We're Raising Funds For

The gear that makes adaptive fishing possible.

Wild Trout Species

Quesnel Lake holds massive wild rainbow trout, lake trout, and bull trout in its pristine waters — the reason we're here.

Electronic Reel Systems

Electronic reels would do the heavy work of retrieving line, opening big-fish angling to anglers of every strength and dexterity — a key piece of gear we're raising funds for.

Specialized Gripping Tackle

Adaptive gripping tackle to keep rod and reel secure and controllable, hands-free or one-handed as needed — on our list to acquire.

Expert, Empathetic Guiding

As we grow, trips will be led by guides trained in adaptive recreation, wilderness survival, and medical safety protocols.

Our Pontoon Boat

Our pontoon boat is ready today. With your support we'll add roll-on ramps so anglers can board and fish with no transfers.

Peak Season Daylight

Operating June through September, we make the most of long Cariboo summer days during the peak fishing season.

A Trophy Within Reach

Beautiful wild rainbow trout like this are exactly why we're doing this. With the right adaptive equipment, landing one becomes possible for anglers of every ability.

Whether you're a lifelong angler or casting for the very first time, our aim is to meet you where you are — and let Quesnel Lake do the rest.
