About FLIPPR

FLIPPR is a grassroots initiative began in 2000 with the view in mind of building a world class trout fishery like no other in existence. By 2008 we succeeded but we are not done yet. With people coming in from all over North America and the world to seek these monsters we must keep adding to it. More lakes in the wings are already awaiting development. In the meantime this IS truly a fishery like no other and one you'll want to visit at your earliest convenience.

There's no need for expensive international flights to far distant, isolated lakes--where the fish are smaller anyway. There's no need to "rough it" or live in a tent for a week. You can sleep in comfort in any number of accommodations and eat in a different restaurant every night. You can drive to every water, launch your tube or boat and go hunting for trout that you won't believe, when your first major hook up occurs.
 

We're here to help you in your quest.

With:

• Travel Directions - both local and including the best way to get here from other countries
• What you need to bring
• The fly patterns and tackle required
• Hydrographic maps of the more popular lakes
• "Normal" Weather Conditions for normal seasons (as if anyone could predict that)

It's all here and, if it isn't, it's on its way

The Parkland will host the Canadian National Fly Fishing Championships and Conservation Symposium from May 24-29 in 2010. While FLIPPR has no direct part in running it, we certainly need to have things in top-notch shape since the National USA/Canadian teams has agreed to participate and "tell their many friends"
