Excellent Trout Fishing!

Ace High Resort has been operating since the mid-fifties. Back then it was called the Ace High Ranch, and there were always horses around right up until the late 1990's. The Ace High barn, built about 70 years ago, remains standing, and has become a local landmark and heritage building. The old barn loses a few wood shakes every time there is a wind storm, but the log base is still quite strong, so we think it will be around for a few more years. A small colony of cats rules the barn these days, producing a few beautiful blue-eyed Siamese/tabby kittens every year.

The original house, which is at least 50 years old, is now the Ace High general store and office.


Generations of families have been coming up to Ace High since the 50's and every year we meet a few grandchildren of those who camped and fished here with their families back in those days. They delight in sharing their memories of those family trips and we have accumulated quite an album of photos dating back to about 1955. A couple in their 60's visited recently, and we photographed them in front of Cabin 3, where they spent their honeymoon in 1955!

These days, guests are a mixture of families, family reunions, fly-fishing clubs, groups of co-workers and couples and singles looking for a quiet weekend. Guests enjoy the large areas of lawn, beautiful sunsets, clean washrooms and showers. Fire pits and picnic tables are set in front of each cabin and campsite, and most have shared docks. A swim dock, water slide, swing-set, basketball,volleyball,

horse-shoe pit, motor-boats, paddle boats and canoes all provide lots of outdoor fun for the family. There is an excellent hike from the resort to Olson's meadows and butte. There are several guest ranches in the area to enjoy a day of trail-riding, as well as buffalo and alpaca ranches, which conduct fun and informative tours.

Present managers Barbara and Roger Lincez are experienced in both general business practices and in running resorts. They have been guests at Ace High

Resort for years so the combination of their knowledge of the resort, the Watch Lake Community, and of the resort business as a whole, should make Ace High Resort one of the best in the Cariboo!

For those looking for cabin accommodation, Ace High has 11 cabins. See some photos on the Cabins, RVs, Camping page. All of the cabins at Ace High are on the lakeshore. We also welcome RV'ers and tenters. See our Current Rates page, an also our Fishing & Other Activities page.

No matter what time of year you come up, remember to bring a warm rain-proof jacket, boots and a hat. Although usually warm and sunny in July and August, the weather can be unpredictable, and snow is possible in May and even early June!

Come on up to Ace High for a weekend, a week, or longer! Each year we look forward to seeing familiar faces from previous years, as well as meeting many new people.


"The two best times to fish is when its rainin'and when it ain't".
-Patrick McManus

"There is certainly something in fishing that tends to
produce a gentleness of spirit, a pure serenity of mind."
-Washington Irving
