Anglers morning will start at 6:30 am with a hot breakfast then off to the river with a hearty packed lunch guaranteed not to leave you hungry. Anglers lunch has a hearty sandwich, fruit, vegetables, sometimes a salad, chips, baked goods, sweets and bottled water). Our day will be spent drifting or Jet boating a 10 km to 15 km stretch of river with a professional licensed fishing guide, we will pull off the water around 4:30 pm, then be on route for home where drinks and dinner will commence. Our guest rooms are large clean and cozy to complete the fishing lodge with a fully stocked fly tying bench and commercial cedar sauna to warm the bones on those cool fall or spring steelhead days. At trips end you will be shuttled back to the airport and given a firm handshake and aspirations of your next Adventure with us!
Skeena river fishing guides prepare for spring steelhead season after a warm winter and little snow pack we are left with just one month before the start of our spring steelhead season. Now after attending ISE Sacramento & Denver Fishing Shows and meeting so many great people just refreshed and rejuvenated us, now don’t misunderstand me the show days are long but after 18 years of doing ISE shows there is no end to the laughter,smiles,hand shakes and good people in the show it self as well as all my guests that have patronized our business for so many seasons it’s amazing I Thank every one of you for supporting my addiction to the great out doors and the experience I get to share and pass on to you the micro share holder’s of Westcoast Fishing Adventures. Now enough of the mushy stuff and on to Steelhead & Salmon fishing swinging bugs and feeling for Tugs is why were here and at days end we drink some Beer with a fire a glow in the melting snow we share our stories of gray shadows below. There just a little poem for you, I am getting more excited by the day to get this season under way we will be setting camp in March with our first guest from Denver Colorado braving the season opener March 1 to the 6th. We will be offering Spring Steelhead on the Main stem Skeena 2 this season as well as the Moose river experience we have not decided where the camp will be placed so I will leave you hanging all I can tell you is we will be ready and the camp will be comfortable just as it has been for the last 5 years. I would also like to touch on another fishery that we enjoy every season from late September to the end of October Silver Salmon fill some very beautiful remote rivers these can only be accessed by jet boat or helicopter making these fisheries very exclusive. Steelhead can also be taken during the same trip so many rivers and so little time this is what has kept our guests coming back two to three times in one season. Because you never know whats around the next bend !
Tight Lines to all Gill McKean.

Skeena river fishing report for November 4 / 2014 .
Fly fishing has been the method Steelhead the prey for the last 2 months, we are now taking a break and getting ready for winter to set in after a very successful fall Steelhead & Coho season. Not with out hard work and extensive knowledge of the Skeena,Nass,Kitimat regions, we traveled far and wide to get our guests hooked up to their own trophy fish.

Not to blow our horn, but when being guided by Westcoast Fishing Adventures you are sure to find clean fishable water no matter what. The rest is up to you! One of our many company slogans goes like this – “We don’t sell ROD DAYS We sell Fishing Adventures!” So if you are looking for Professional fishing guides that know the water & do there home work, look no further. You have found the one and only Westcoast Fishing Adventures. Were – Here to Hook you up !
Now on to the report. All area rivers are on the drop and of course jammed with Steelhead and spawning Coho. We have been getting heavy rain through out most days however temps are dropping & snow is falling around 1800 ft. The Kalum winter run will soon be here as the copper river is in full swing – The Bell Irving was just starting to fish well towards the end of the season with chrome Steelhead showing up daily. Coho salmon on all region 6 rivers are closed for the season.

Good day everybody, sorry for the delay in fishing reports, as we here at the lodge have been busy getting clients hooked up.
The Spring season started off a bit slow, the rivers were high and muddy a bit early, but have shaped up beautifully! Every year Mother Nature gives us something new to experience, keeps our lives interesting here in Beautiful Natural British Columbia (=
Here are a couple photos of some guests in May:

Hello all its been some time since the last fishing report. We have been ‘ex-streamly’ busy after our 5 weeks of Steelhead Boot Camp (http://westcoastfishing.ca/steelheadbackroads) catching up on the ‘honey do’ list around the lodge and chasing the kids to their activities. I am excited to say after 2 years we now have another licence to access the Upper Skeena allowing only a few anglers per week to angle some of the finest Summer Run Steelhead water in the world! Having the opportunity at throwing a fly at Kispiox, Babine, Bulkley, Morice, and the list goes on “Steelhead” at their prime before entering their Native Rivers to winter over, and take on the spawning colors with their mates. What makes this fishery so special, is the location and water we are casting flies in. These Trophy Steelhead are only miles from the tide water during the beginning of the migration while the bright & fight of these blinding chrome fish scream down the river lighting up your reel and putting your skills and tackle to the test! The Salmon migration is in full swing with Chinook rolling through the region 6 rivers Skeena,Kitimat,Nass are now producing good numbers of chrome healthy Chinook Salmon. There have been reports of Sockeye and Chum Salmon entering the Skeena and Kitimat. All region 6 rivers have come into shape quickly do to a low snow pack, giving guides and resident anglers early opportunities at Fresh Salmon with the odd late running Steelhead. We still have some spaces available for Summer Run Steelhead also have Coho, Salmon, Steelhead & Trout combo trips.
