MORE INFO: Every year thousands of chum salmon return to the Squamish River and its tributaries including the Mamquam River and the Cheakamus River. These are the final run of salmon to enter the Squamish River and because of their solid size and hard fight they have become a favorite of fly anglers. Chums pull hard and can reach upwards of 20 pounds.
Chum salmon usually move into the Squamish River starting in mid October with the largest numbers of bright healthy fishing being caught in late October and early November. You may have seen pictures of dark spawning chums 'caught' by people. We're not into that, with our guided fishing trips you'll be in search of 'Chromers', fresh fish right off the open ocean!
The Squamish River is located about 45 minutes north of Vancouver, BC and about 30 minutes south of Whistler, BC making it close enough for an easy day on the water. Our guided flyfishing trips leave from either Vancouver or Whistler.
The guides at Chromer Sport Fishing have years of expereince guiding and fishing on the Squamish and we look forward to showing you what a great salmon fishery this is! If you are in Vancouver or Whistler this Fall don't miss out on this great BC fishing experience.
WHERE: Bulkley River near Smither, British Columbia.
WHEN: October through late November
PRICE: 7 day lodge trips start at $4695 all-inclusive and 4 day drift trips start at $3300.
CHROMER WEBSITE: Check out our Bulkley River Steelhead Packages page.
MORE INFO: Fishing for steelhead on the Bulkley River and other Skeena River tributaries has been increasingly good in the last few weeks. Some early fall rain had the Bulkley a bit high and slightly colored but the cool weather has dropped the river and made it a lot more fishable in the last few weeks.
Steelhead fishing on the Bulkley River is some of the finest in Canada. These are summer run steelhead that are willing to chase skated dry flies and who've been know to chase big intruders and other swung wet flies from across the run.
If you think you're too late to hit the British Columbia steelhead season, well you're sort of right but we do have a few spots open at our Bulkley River steelhead lodge as well as with a few other steelhead fishing lodges and guides in BC.
If you are interested in a late season steelhead fishing package let us know. You can take a look at all our steelhead fishing lodges here at our Steelhead Fishing Packages page...
