Location
Our lodges are located near Terrace in British Columbia, Canada. They are in the heart of some of the finest waters in the world. The original lodge called Kalum River Lodge is on the banks of the Kalum River, this Lodge is now the owner’s accommodation and used if we have additional private parties. However, to meet the high demand of the destination another lodge has been built. The new accommodation is called the Wild River Lodge. This accommodation is located right on the banks of the Skeena River and boasts stunning views of the world-renowned river and the surrounding mountains. With both the lodges’ perfect location, you spend more time fishing and less time travelling.
Fishing
Salmon and Steelhead fly fishing in Canada will give you the opportunity to catch world record fish. One of the rivers you will fish is the Skeena River which is considered by many to be the best Salmon and Steelhead fly fishing in the world. The Skeena watershed holds the world record for both Steelhead on the fly and with conventional tackle. As well as having the world’s largest run of wild Steelhead, the Skeena also holds 2 world records for King Salmon.
The fishing season begins in April and goes through to early November. The spring season brings fresh runs of Steelhead, trout and early Chinook salmon into the rivers. This is a great time for fly fishermen to experience fishing on a variety of rivers. Steelhead fly fishing and salmon fly fishing throughout the summer season is an action-packed time. The chance of catching Steelhead and all five species of salmon during your trip is an amazing experience and brings many of our anglers back year after year. By early September the tributaries are filling up with Coho (Silver Salmon) and Steelhead providing excellent fly fishing as well as incredible wilderness scenery. Check out our Youtube Channel for new and exiting fishing videos from all our tours.
We also have exclusive access points to both the upper and lower Kalum River. Combined with this you will also fish the delightful Kitimat River, Nass River and its tributaries which provides everyone with the chance to battle with monster Kings and tackle-busting Chum Salmon.
