With water levels dropping and clarity significantly better than previous weeks, Chinook fishing on the mainstem Skeena in the last week of July and first week of August was nothing short of incredible. An average day saw 6 to 12 fish hooked, and the best day, experienced by father and son duo, Bill Stanberry and BJ Stanbery, was an amazing 22 fish hooked and 15 landed! Average size was 20 to 40 lbs, with many in the 45 to 55 lb range. The Skeena sure is one amazing fishery - there aren't many places in the world where you can find fishing like this for trophy Chinook! Even though our main 2011 Chinook fishery is now closed, there is still some great fishing to be had just outside Terrace. Or, if you'd like to consider a trip for 2012,
email me, or check out our
Trophy Chinook brochure for more information. Here's a few of the better fish our clients caught during the last two weeks:
