The main stem Skeena can also fish very good at this time of the year we have been swinging flies there has also been good reports of float fishermen landing 7 to 8 steelhead per day from 14 to 20 pounds. If you would like info on our area please feel free to contact me at any time. We are now taking bookings for summer steelhead and salmon on the the Skeena, Kitimat rivers. On another note we had a great trip to Sacramento California meeting new customers and hooking up with our old friends. We had the opportunity to stop by the Drift boat shop in Oregon to fish the Clackamas river and pick up another new 18 ft Clackacraft this is by far the best drift boat money can buy. The service and product are second to none, even more exciting they have now built a true power paddle drift sled that we had the pleasure of running the very first one.

Steelhead fishing report for Terrace BC Jan 3 /2014 winter run steelhead post / Area rivers are in prime shape the Kalum river is fishing well with good numbers of winter run steelhead showing up. We have been swinging large intruder style flies mostly in pink but color is not always important as getting the fly to the fish at the right speed seems to be key. The main stem Skeena river down stream of the Lake else river has been productive as well and will continue to produce well into May. We have been getting more rain than normal bringing area rivers up and moving fish through the systems.
