Fish Species Summary
Steelhead
Anyone who has ever caught one of these beauties will tell you that pound for pound this is one of the fiercest fish on the planet. They are known for hard-fighting action and acrobatic displays, but you never know what will occur once they're hooked.
These magnificent sea-run rainbow trout normally return to fresh water to spawn following two to three years in ocean water. The Skeena River system holds the world's biggest run of Steelhead in addition to the world record. These fish are the most sought after trout by fly fishing enthusiasts.
Spring season: mid March through May
Summer season: late July to November
Weight range: 10-35 pounds
Chinook Salmon
Another name for the Chinook salmon is "King" or "Spring" salmon. These salmon are extremely popular with fly fisherman because of their awesome size and power.
It's not unusual for even the seasoned veteran to feel intimated fighting this fish. Many have lost the battle due to broken tackle. The Skeena River has generated two world record Chinooks weighing in at 92 pounds and 99 pounds, respectively.
Spring season: late April to early July
Summer season: mid June to early August
Weight range: 10-99 pounds
Coho Salmon
The coho ranks as one of the most aggressive salmon. Their willingness to strike a fly and their vast numbers make this fish a popular target for anglers.
Whether you're using hardware or a fly, these salmon are excellent fighters. During the fall, it's possible to spot these amazing salmon in low, clear waters.
Fall season: August to November
Weight range: 5-35 pounds
Sockeye Salmon
Like the steelhead, the sockeye is a challenge to land due to its acrobatic and fighting ability. This salmon will push your angling skills to the limit.
The sockeye migrate through the Skeena River in vast numbers so anglers have many exciting opportunities to hook these popular fish.

mid July to September
Chum Salmon
