Angle for Spring Steelhead in Northern BC Waters
Contributed When casting for spring-run
steelhead in BC, it’s best to pack your poles and head to a region known for big catches. Like, say, Northern BC’s rushing waters — namely the Skeena, Kalum, Copper and Kitimat rivers. From mid-March to mid-May, angling for steelhead in these waters in and around Terrace and Kitimat is all about challenge: these silvery spring catches, closely related to Pacific salmon, are revered as legendary fighters. Where to start? Wade along river
shores with a little guidance from the Skeena Angling Guides Association — a friendly bunch of professionals that can hook you up with 32 top-notch casting crews. With tutelage from these folks, your catch-and-release steelhead outings will run the gamut, from opportunities to bait your hook along the Kitimat River with the
experts at Reliable Guide and Charters to outings that will see you reeling in these beauties along the Skeena River with the team at Steelhead Heaven. So, go ahead — shine your line in the province’s northern fishing grounds. Tese guides have got your back. Not to mention the skinny on the region’s
