NORTHWEST BC A FISHING PARADISE Welcome to this publication which will help make the most of your fishing journey through Northwestern British Columbia. Once again we’re pleased to show you some of the catches of the last while as provided by residents of the northwest and other places.

Northwestern B.C. is truly a fishing paradise, regardless of what your preferred method or target catch and you’ll notice that in the pictures contained here in. For those who like the serenity of trout fishing, there are plenty of easily accessible lakes in the region to try your luck at. For those who enjoy the thrill and the fight associated with going after the big one, the region’s rivers provide ample opportunities to go after a variety of Pacific salmon.

And for those who want to hit the open waters of the Pacific in search of salmon, halibut,

lingcod, prawns or crabs, Haida Gwaii, Prince Rupert and Kitimat all offer some exciting ocean fishing opportunities and plenty of professional guides to help ensure your trip to the coast is a success.

Along with the exceptional fishing opportunities is exceptional scenery. With bald eagles, grizzly bears, deer, gray whales, and the rare Kermode bear among the wildlife that calls the Northwest home, the opportunities to take in a unique wilderness experience is always present.

WITH THANKS The Terrace Standard thanks those who provided them and we hope you’ll share the thrill of the catch as much as did those who caught the fish in the first place.

WILD SALMON & STEELHEAD Contributed by Kermodei Tourism Scenic beauty, a vast variety of waterways and a fleet of powerful fish make this region an unparalleled destination for big scale adventures. Each year anglers are lured to the Skeena Valley in the hopes of landing the big one and it’s a known fact that more salmon and steelhead are caught in the Skeena River and its tributaries than any other place in the world.

The fishing opportunities are diverse and last throughout the year depending on the species and watershed. Steelhead fishing is prime in the early spring and late fall while the summer offers a chance to catch all five species of Pacific salmon—King, Sockeye, Coho, Pink, and Chum.

Tropy-sized trout such as Rainbow, Kokanee, Lake, Dolly Varden, Mountain Whitefish, Lake Whitefish, and Burbot can also be found in the lakes year round.

FAST FACTS Contributed by Kermodei Tourism

A WORLD RECORD The world record for catching (and releasing) a 99-pound Chinook Salmon is held by a visiting German tourist who had her first fishing experience in the Skeena River in 2001.

Spectacular Salmon & Halibut Fishing

SWIMMING FROM THE HEADWATERS TO THE PACIFIC In the summer of 2009, Ali Howard swam the length of the Skeena River, a 610-kilometre journey from the headwaters to the Pacific Ocean just like a migrating salmon. Supported by a team of experts, her goal was to raise awareness of the environmental threats to the Skeena including coalbed methane drilling and pipeline development.
