mike rousseau Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Hey everyone.... So my dad got a contract job in kitimat BC... I think I've seen this place on TV... The skeena(sp?) river maybe? But I was wondering if anyone has been there and can recommend good fishing areas and or guides... He has his drug test this week then he will be flying out in early march.... Not sure how long yet but I'm guessing 3 or more months... I know he was hoping to get a halibut trip in... He loves eating them... And what runs the rivers in the spring... ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bare foot wader Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Industry is booming there, any chance he's employed with Ledcor? The chinook (springs) start in mid/late may, is closed for august and cohos in sept....never targeted the other salmom species, so cant help there.....river has a no powered boat restriction so is drift boat only, many shore spots, the bait shop has a map they put out Tourism prices are outrageous, popular destination for Americans...pm sent shortly with guide info Drift boat is about 350-500 per day, salt is 700+, if he wants more salt fishing I'd drive an hour to prince Rupert, more charter options Is a beautiful area, rugged mountains, full of black bears and goats up high, great area for hiking and hunting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ironmaker Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 My pal has been working there at the Alcan plant. He says find water, catch a fish, anywhere. Right where the bus drops the crews off at the gate he's caught salmon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
