Fishing

When the rod is bent to the near breaking point and the line is screaming off the reel, you know that you are in a truly special place, Telkwa. Our many streams and rivers with world class fishing, start their lives at the tops of snow-capped glaciers. They wind for miles through dense virgin forests to the valley floors below. Down here is where you often find yourself competing with eagles and ospreys, otters and bears, all searching for the same elusive trout and salmon hiding in the deep, crystal-clear pools. Magical names like the Morice, the Babine, the Kispiox, and the Bulkley send adrenaline rushing through the arteries of knowledgeable anglers. All the Steelhead and salmon must pass first through the mighty Skeena. Salmon over 41 kilograms (90 pounds) have been taken in the Skeena! There are 68 major rivers that flow through this vast area, each offering its own brand of excellent fishing.

If you prefer to do lake fishing, the Telkwa area provides tranquil lakes that are sources of endless pleasures. Our lakes provide magnificent opportunities to catch fish like char, kokanee, cutthroat and rainbow trout. The Babine Lake offers char that grows up to 20 pounds!

Whether you want to test your skill against the fighting spirit of a Steelhead, or to experience the therapeutic serenity of lake fishing, Telkwa offers world class fishing spots.
