Some places are so wild and remote they feel almost untouched. In northern British Columbia, just outside the vast Muskwa-Kechika Management Area, that kind of wilderness still exists. And it’s here that Urs and Daniel Schildnecht built Northern Rockies Adventures—a lodge and outfitting business that brings anglers and adventurers into some of the most rugged and spectacular country on the continent.
In this episode, Ross sits down with Urs and Daniel after spending days flying by float plane, fishing lakes and rivers that few will ever see. They talk about the origins of their lodge, the challenges of building a life and business so far north, and the stories that come from guiding in a place where the road ends. Along the way, they share their perspective on the Muskwa-Kechika itself—its unique landscape, its wildlife, and the deep solitude it offers to those willing to venture into it.
This is more than a fishing story—it’s a window into the people who call the wild north home, and the waters and mountains that define their lives.
