Five Ravens Fishing Hole — Shirley, BC

Welcome to the little spot where your dinner swims within sight and your stories get taller with every cast. We’re a small, local bunch who believe in simple rules: catch your dinner, enjoy it, and laugh at the one that got away.

We carved out a small pond from the land, piece by piece, over more than a decade. This wasn’t just a construction project — it was a patient lesson in working alongside nature, learning its rhythms, and evolving with its quiet wisdom. Every curve of the shoreline, every ripple in the water was shaped by countless seasons of trial, error, and respect.

Stocked with the finest trout you can find, the pond is a living testament to that journey. These fish aren’t just stocked; they’re nurtured in an ecosystem we’ve carefully fostered to mirror their natural habitat. It’s a blend of art and science, intuition and dedication — and after 10 years, the pond isn’t just a fishing spot, it’s a thriving, breathing piece of the environment.

Here at Five Ravens Fishing Hole, we don’t just catch trout; we enjoy nature alongside the land and the water, creating a haven where both fish and anglers come to grow.
