The Skeena River
Rising amongst the Skeena mountains  this powerful river travels over 300 miles to reach the Pacific Ocean. Its tumbling waters are home to some of the largest members f the salmon family to be found anywhere in the world. Fly fishing and spinning regularly produces Chinook Salmon in excess of 50lb and Steelhead to 30lb , catches of 10 good sized fish are not unusual in a session. Between June and October this scenic expanse of water becomes a salmon highway , in this period in excess of 13 million salmon travel its length.

The Kitsumkalum River:-
Born from glacial waters the Kitsumkalum, like the Skeena, is a magnet for spawning salmon . It however gains its reputation from the huge amounts of big Steelhead and record Chinook taken during the season. Separated by an impassable canyon, we fish both the upper and lower sections of this river using Jet and Drift boats. The average Chinook taken is 35lb but the record stands at an amazing 85lbs.

The Kitimat river :-
This beautiful river stretching for just 25 miles, is a haven for wildlife and the drift only rule on this river helps to maintain the area's serenity.

Along the course of its tranquil waters, it is not unusual to see Grizzly Bears , Lynx, Eagles and Otters going about their daily chores. For a small river it has an exceptionally large run of big fish, and with its crystal clear water it has become a favourite venue with visiting fly fishermen.

Prince Rupert Sound
The venue for most of our deep sea halibut trips. These waters regularly produce 150lb fish and some in excess of 275lb have been landed at its picturesque harbour. Enormous shoals of bait fish ensure that its waters are stocked with predatory halibut and salmon . Fishing in up to 200ft of water using herring cut baits and perks clients can expect regular action from halibut , Turbot Rays, Skate and Rock Cod . This day adds another dimension to our fishing adventure. This area also offers the opportunity to experience Salmon Trolling and mooching in the open ocean.

We offer the angler the chance of fishing for six different strains of salmon, that run in the prolific rivers that are adjacent to our fishing resort, and the chance to connect with the huge halibut that lay just off the coast.

Coho (Oncorhynchus kisutch)
Called the silver salmon this sporting species is almost identical to the Atlantic salmon. The Coho is extremely adaptable and can be found in nearly all accessible bodies of fresh water. Coho are spectacular fighters and the most acrobatic of the Pacific salmon , and on suitable tackle provide a thorough test for even the most experienced angler . An average size of 10lb - 12lb makes this a true sporting target , and 30lb specimens have been taken in all the rivers we fish.

Sockeye (Oncorhynchus nerka)
Commonly referred to as the "red salmon " it occurs in the North Pacific and the Arctic Oceans and associated fresh water systems. The Red is highly prized as a table fish and for this reason is heavily targeted by local anglers. An exhilarating initial run of 80 to 100 yards is not unusual and the sockeyes reputation for taking line is second to none. Come and see whether you're as good at getting it back again!

Chum (Oncorhyncus keta)
Commonly referred to as the dog salmon because of the males tendency to develop a hooked jaw and large teeth . This particular type of salmon is well known for its aerial antics when hooked and care must be taken to avoid being snapped up by the fish impacting on the line when re-entering the water. This fish reaches sizes of up to 30lb the standard run of fish is in the region of 12 to 15lb.

Pinks (Onchorhyncus gorbuscha)
Common name Humpy salmon because of the pronounced lateral line which develops on the backs of the males before spawning. Unusual amongst many salmon species in that it will more readily attack a fly than any other bait offered by the sporting angler.

Halibut
These leviathans of the deep abundant in the fishing grounds around Prince Rupert . Their characteristic long slow charge of a bite normally heralds a fight that lasts hours rather than minutes. Fishing cut baits of herring and squid , these fish offer the angler a totally different fighting experience to the fast and mobile salmon, more of a dogged resistance with surging runs towards the rocks and long powerful duels . Fish of up to 300lb live in these waters but it takes an angler of particular fortitude to overcome a halibut of that size. Landing a large halibut is like trying to pull the plug out of the bottom of the sea ! We regularly take fish of over 150lb.
