The Skeena River in northern British Columbia is legendary for its world-class Steelhead and Salmon fishing, and I was fortunate to spend a week there this April with an amazing group. Skeena River Lodge is, without a doubt, the top operation on these iconic waters, with a talented guide team, welcoming staff, and a comfortable lodge that quickly feels like home. I’d been anxiously tying flies and preparing for this trip for months, and I couldn’t wait to be knee-deep in the river alongside friends from around the world.
Our week was a huge success. Every angler in our Trident group hooked and landed multiple Steelhead and, perhaps more importantly, picked up valuable skills we’ll carry forward into future trips. Read on for a full report on the current conditions in the Skeena system, the lodge itself, and what makes this trip one of the most special we offer.
