Fishing Seasons
Spring Season
Species:
Steelhead, Chinook (King) Salmon, Trout
First trips for Steelhead start from mid March and
continue until early May. The Kalum river is known for some big Steelhead at
this time of year. Late April to early May there are Steelhead and Chinook
salmon in the river. Early May to the first week of June provides anglers
with some excellent Chinook fishing. The record Chinook for the May fishery
is 83lb. As well as the Kalum we have numerous coastal rivers with fresh
runs of spring Steelhead. These are lively fish and make for some exciting
angling. In addition there is some great trout fishing as the trout move
around the rivers chasing emerging salmon fry.
Summer Season
Species: Steelhead, Chinook (King), Sockeye, Pink,
Chum, Coho Salmon, Trout
Summer
Chinook fishing starts mid June and goes until mid August. This is the main
run for King salmon and has produced world record fish over the years, the
largest being over 99lb. By mid July we also have Steelhead, Sockeye, Pink
and Chum Salmon starting up the rivers. This gives anglers the opportunity
to experience a variety of fisheries and species all in one trip. Early
August to mid September is a great time for fly fishers on the Skeena river.
The main run of summer Steelhead migrates at this time in addition to Coho,
Sockeye and Pink Salmon. This is an easy river to wade and fish at this
time. It is also a favorable time for water conditions and weather.
Fall Season
Species:
Steelhead, Coho, Trout
Last but not least we have our fall Coho and
Steelhead fisheries. These are quality fisheries that offer a wilderness
experience, breathtaking scenery and quality fishing. At this time there are
numerous rivers to see and large numbers of Coho Salmon ready to challenge
an angler. Anglers can experience several rivers in one trip.
