Fishing Season 2008

The Skeena region has a long fishing season with a variety of fisheries.

Our first trips for Steelhead start from mid March and continue until early May. The Kalum is known for some big Steelhead at this time of year. Late April thru early May we have both Steelhead and Chinook salmon in the rivers. Early May thru the first week of June provides anglers with some excellent Chinook fishing. The record Chinook for the May fishery is 83lbs.

Summer Chinook fishing starts mid June and goes thru until mid August. This is the main run for King salmon and has produced World Record fish over the years. The biggest being over 99lbs. By mid July we also have Steelhead, Sockeye, Pinks and Chum starting up the rivers. This give anglers the opportunity to experience a variety of fisheries and species all in one trip.

Mid- August thru Mid- Sept. is a great time for fly fishers on the main stem Skeena. The main run of Summer run Steelhead are migrating at this time as well as Coho and Pink Salmon. This is a easy river to wade and fish at this time. It is also a favorable time for water conditions and weather.
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 salmon ready to challenge an angler.
