Offering access to sea-bright steelhead and salmon virtually year-round, it features a multitude of rivers including the main-stem Skeena, Kitimat, Kalum, and Copper as well as numerous lesser-known systems. This region offers an unbeatable combination of value and opportunity for serious Spey anglers.

Located north of the Skeena watershed, Nass River Steelhead Co. is an intimate four person camp tucked into an old growth forest on the banks of the mighty Nass not far from the confluence of the Damdochax. The nearest road is 150 km away and moose and wolves abound. In addition to five great runs within a short distance of camp, the camp fishes multiple miles of water accessing key runs by raft and jet boat. Nass steelhead average 10 to 15 pounds but fish in the 20-pound class are not uncommon. These fish tend to be aggressive and when conditions align, catch rates can be impressive. While the camp is very basic, meals are as good as it gets. Rate: $7,900 plus tax per person for a 7 night/6 day package
