Our Long History

Even if the Baits Motel may be one of the places in Alfred Hitchcock's movie 'Psycho,' this place in the historic Spences Bridge is a famous destination for anglers who are on a quest to get the ultimate experience in Steelhead fishing. The fishing season from October to December can steadily attract so many fishing enthusiasts who want to catch the famous steelhead that can reach a maximum weight of 30 lbs. The bright red sockeye salmon goes on an extended journey to spawn in the Adams River by fall. From winter to summer, the water is full of Chinook and trout. In the past, celebrities like Ernest Hemingway visited the area to experience great fishing during the town's heyday. Even if the local people lived in the area for thousands of years, the Cariboo Gold Rush made the white settlers go there during the mid-1860s.
