FLY FISHING – CANADA, BRITISH COLUMBIA
Fly fishing trip to Northern British Columbia – Skeena and Nass River systems on 6th-14th October 2027. Fishing for steelhead on this area is considered to be the best steelhead fishing in the world. We fly fish for world record steelhead and salmon on trophy waters. Wild steelhead and salmon are at the heart of what makes the rivers of this area so special.
BRITISH COLUMBIA
Rivers receive a large run of all 5 salmon species as well steelhead. First trips for steelhead start from mid March and continue until early May. In June and July we target the largest of salmon species, the chinook. In July, the pink and chum salmon arrive in the thousands. During the August and September months the agressive coho salmon will arrive. April is prime time for the steelhead as well October when they run into tributaries. Joining the steelhead in October are fresh coho salmon arriving.

Fly fishing will be done with fly fishing gear and by wading. The fishing guide will pick you up from your accomodation in the morning and will take you to the river.
