We just recieved a couple of nice reports and pictures from Andrew Rushton at the Kalum River Lodge, so we thought we'd share them with you all!

Week One...

We have just finished another fantastic week with Phil Barker's hosted group. Fishing on the Skeena River was good and on their best day the anglers hooked over 80 salmon. They landed all five species of Pacific salmon along with some fresh Steelhead, Cutthroat trout and Char.

First time fly angler Mike Tracey was soon into some good fish on the Skeena and landed a super Chum salmon on the Kitimat River.

Steve Lobley who had not caught a salmon before, hooked into several on his first morning. Repeat client Tony Fairclough enjoyed another great week's fishing and was already talking about returning next year before he had finished his last day!
Here are just a few of the many photos of the fish caught this past week.

Best Regards
Andrew














Week 2....

Heavy rain at the beginning of the week meant that the Skeena River has been extremely high and dirty. With these challenging conditions we changed our tactics and looked for areas where fish were moving. This paid off and our guests started to catch a variety of salmon and some Steelhead. After a few days the Skeena started to drop and as the visibility improved so did the fishing with good numbers of fish migrating up the river with the high water.

Our guests Annella Campbell and David Pickering, who travelled a long way especially to fish with us on the Skeena, caught a lot of salmon and some stunning Steelhead. Annella hooked a large Chinook on her first day and said that she had caught her "fish of a lifetime". Annella also landed some good sized Steelhead. David, who is a fishing guide on the rivers back home, was very impressed with the Skeena fishing. He enjoyed some exciting fights with the Skeena Steelhead and landed some lovely silver fish. They were joined by Kermit Johnson, who landed Sockeye, Coho, Pink salmon and Steelhead. Here are just a few photos of our guests with some of their super catches.

Now long time guests Troy Adams and Marcus (Whitey) Ervin are back at Kalum River Lodge for another season with their fishing buddy Thomas. These anglers are hoping to catch some large Steelhead again this year. We will keep you posted!!
