The Peace River area is vast and awesome. It has some of the richest farmland, most successful oil exploration, the largest source of natural gas in Canada and boasts the greatest number of hours of sunshine anywhere in the province. The area is most famous as the starting point of the Alaska Highway, but there's a great deal more to be discovered here. The scenery is extraordinary, the history is fascinating and the fishing - especially for great Northern Pike and other indigenous sport fish species - is excellent.
