Canadian Fishing
Trophy Chinook salmon are most abundant in late July and early August with fish being taken in the 35-85 lb. range. Halibut fishing is very productive in this region with many hot spots to test throughout the week, halibut average 30-120 lbs. The Coho runs become thick in August with the salmon feeding vigorously and near the surface, averaging 15-18 lbs. they provide consistent exciting light tackle action. This unique abundance and variety is hard to match anywhere else in British Columbia and the opportunity also exists for some fabulous estuary and salt water fly fishing. Anglers can take advantage of the calm water channels that allow access to river estuaries and bays teaming with salmon waiting for the right conditions to migrate upstream, try your luck from your custom skiff or go ashore and cast from the river's edge and at the same time enjoy a beach BBQ including pots full of mouthwatering Dungeness crab and little neck steamer clams. Scenery, good weather, sandy beaches, clam digging and spectacular fishing make Bella Bella one of the top adventure locations on the coast. Westwind recommends this area for individuals and families who want the best variety and calm waters.
