Rises amongst the Skeena mountains and 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 impassible 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.
