ABOUT THIS REGION  DRIVE-TO FISHING LODGES- RIVER

Steelhead & salmon fishing on the Skeena River

Stay in a first class lodge and enjoy trophy fishing for steelhead and salmon on the Skeena River. The world class Skeena River receives a large run of all 5 Salmon species as well as Steelhead. The Skeena River has produced world record fish well into the 100 lbs. range. Guided trips begin in late June until early October. During this season you are transported by covered jetboats to wisk you away in search of salmon and steelhead.

Steelhead & salmon fishing on the Skeena River

The fully modern 5 star lodge was constructed in 1999 and is immersed in a quiet green area surrounded by pristine forests and the extraordinary Coast Mountains of Northern British Columbia. It is conveniently located just 10 minutes outside the City of Terrace. After an exciting day of fishing you have a relaxing retreat where you can talk about the days events and the next days adventure.

Steelhead & salmon fishing on the Skeena River

Season: June to October
Requirements: Fishing license. Recommended tackle if bringing your own: For single handed fly anglers, a 8-10wt fly rod with 30lb test backing (for large species), as well as a 10-15lb leader. For spey fishermen a 14ft 10/11wt rod will be excellent for steelhead and Chum, a 6wt for trout and char and coho. A multi tip line is recommended as we use the dry and sinking tip methods. A client should have a variety of flies in his box. We recommend dry types like the Muddler Minnow, steelhead Bee, and the steelhead Bomber. For sinking flies, the General Practitioner, Fuchsia Bunny, Doc Sprately, and Leech flies. For the drift fisherman (steelhead, Coho and Chum) a 9-10ft steelhead rod with a 5500-6500 ambassador levelwind reel with 15lb test and 12lb leader is recommended. For Chinook a 11ft stiff rod with a 7000ambassador spooled with 25lb test. Common methods for steelhead are lures, floated roe (till may15th only), bottom bouncing spinning glows with hoochies, small jigs, and float fishing pink worms. For Chinook and chum we recommend lures like the Kitimats, as well as large marabou jigs, and bottom bouncing spinning glows with hoochies. For Coho we use koho 55s, small jigs, mepps, and floated roe (September 7th re-opens).
