My Number one "recommendation" for World Class Steelhead and Salmon Fly Fishing
Hi Folks, early on in my now 25 year fly fishing career I went on a lot of expensively disappointing fishing trips. Then in 2006 I discovered Tracey and his Steelhead Heaven outfit in beautiful British Columbia and have been going back ever since. The main rivers he fishes, the Kitimat, the majestic Skeena, and the Kalum are beautiful and abundant. Tracey and his guides are knowledgeable and well equipped and I advise you to listen to what they tell you (although many guests don't). You can fish single or double hand but there’s no double that a Switch or Spey rod is more effective and energy efficient. Tracey’s mission is to get you into the best fishing runs - then it’s up to you! I also recommend staying at the Tracey’s Kitimat Lodge where there’s often same day caught crab on the evening menu. CU in 2019! Best… Steve Hardy steve.hardy@azimutconsulting.at
Recommendation from Cuchulain Hammilcar I've been fly fishing with Tracey and his Steelhead Heaven for the last 10 years or so. At the start the entire setup was good, now it is excellent. Tracey and his team have given me excellent value over the years. The rivers in his portfolio are some of the best in the world. For the fly fishermen/women out there I suggest taking a double hander switch rod with you. Tight lines...
Would you like a similar experience? Then book with Tracey John Hittel of Kitimat Lodge, Got questions for Tracey? E-mail: tjhittel@telus.net or call his cell phone: 250-639-4277. He would love to hear from you.

They have access to over 50 rivers and lakes, saltwater fishing, fly and conventional fishing, all species of salmon and trout, including outdoor adventure. They can organize adventure sport like mountain biking, kayaking, hiking, camping, off road motor cycle tours, skiing and snowmobiling.
Their guests stay at a "first class" fishing lodge The Skeena River system may
be the last pervasive wild salmon and steelhead fishery in In 1983 Noel Gyger started a guiding service and magazine called BIG FISH COUNTRY. A very successful operation focused on catching the largest salmon using conventional fishing methods. In 1987 Noel and friend, Cosmo Zavaglia started Northwest Fishing Guides and Lodge shortly there after. Noel and Cosmo established a reputation and grew the business over the next few years. In 1997, Noel and his wife Gail purchased Cosmos’s share of the lodge. Both of them continued to grow the business. With hard work, dedication and a good team of fishing guides, the company was a success. In November 2001 Noel and Gail retired and sold the business to Dustin and his partners. Dustin and his team have amassed over 850 repeat clients from all over North America, Europe and Asia. They have been featured on many sport fishing television shows with over 11 shows produced with Canadian Sport Fishing shown on The Outdoor Life Network and the Sports Network in Canada. In the USA we have been featured on ESPN’s Fly fishing the World with John Barrett and Steve Abel Reels. Head Guide Dustin, an avid BC fisherman since the age of 2 and a former guide for Noel Gyger. Dustin is dedicated to offering the highest quality fishing adventure in Northwestern BC’s Skeena Region. Trip Package includes: -
Federal and Provincial
taxes
Trip Package does not include: -
Transportation from your
place of residence to Terrace BC airport and return
I am pleased to offer numerous fishing packages for each of the main seasons on the world-renowned Skeena River and its tributaries in 2010:
Spring Steelhead & Spring Chinook March 14 to May 20, 2008 Classic northwest steelheading at its best. They guide on many wild and scenic rivers filled with large, wild Steelhead. Mid-way through the season, aggressive Spring Chinook begin to show and add an exciting dimension. They have limited space during this popular season.
This is a great time for both fly (spey and single hand) and spin rods for BIG Steelhead on the Kalum, Lower Copper, Kitimat and main Skeena. Here is a photo of the record 32-pound fish from the Kalum River. Space is limited. Secure your spot by contacting me today.
Chinook Fly Fishing April 26 to August 6, 2008 Looking for big game fly fishing in fresh water? Like the challenge of hooking and landing big, sea-run fish? If so, I have just the package for you. The Skeena region offers the fly fisher prime opportunities to target chrome-bright, aggressive Chinook (King) Salmon in three seasons.
Trophy Chinook July 13 to August 6, 2008 Trophy Chinook season in North-western British Columbia is when we do battle with the giants of the Skeena. The rivers are full of massive Chinook (King) Salmon, which average as astounding 20 to 50-pounds. Fish over 70-pounds are caught every year and there is even a chance at a Salmon over 100-pounds. These fish are fresh from the sea and in peak condition. They are chrome bright and extremely powerful. Expect sore arms and hot thumbs!
Skeena Camp Package July 13 to September 20, 2008 Simply put, North-western British Columbia's Skeena River is the Steelhead and Salmon superhighway. In summer and fall the lower main channel Skeena hosts vast numbers of migrating Steelhead, chinook, Coho, Sockeye, Chums and Pinks headed for numerous upriver tributaries. To take full advantage of this prolific fisher and offer a high-quality, high-value fishing adventure, Dustin and his team have developed an on-river Skeena Camp package. Renowned rivers such as the Babine, Kispiox, Sustut, Bulkley, Morice, Copper (Zymoetz) and Kalum enter the Skeena above their camp and all fish bound for these rivers must pass directly in front of them before reaching their spawning grounds. Only a day or two out of the ocean, at the peak of their size, strength and beauty, these are among the biggest and most aggressive Steelhead and Salmon on Earth. To hook one of these fish on a fly in the broad, lower Skeena is to touch the heart of the wilderness - an experience not to be forgotten!
Summer Steelhead & Five Species of Pacific Salmon August 6 to September 6, 2008 If you're after the ultimate Trout - the meanest, hottest, sea-lice covered, Monster Steelhead - you'll want to be on the lower Skeena and tributaries during this season. These awesome fish average 8 to 15-pounds, 20-pounds is not uncommon, and a world record catch is not beyond imagination. It's typical for even average fish to go on unstoppable runs, leaping all the way. These ultra-chrome rockets have left many an angler with shaking hands and wanting more. There is also the added bonus of being able to catch all five species of Pacific Salmon during this time.
Fall Steelhead & Trophy Coho August 31 to October 25, 2008 This is the season that has made the Skeena justifiably famous. Fish wild rivers for huge, aggressive Steelhead. Their fall fish are surface-oriented and can readily be taken with waking and dry flies. Skeena Coho (Silver) average 10-pounds, commonly reach 20-pounds, and world record 30-plus fish are always present. They fish some of the most beautiful wilderness rivers in the world. Towering, snow-capped mountains rising over 3000 feet above meandering streams surrounded in the orange, red and green of British Columbia's coastal autumn make for an experience that you'll never forget. It doesn't get any better!
Early Winter Steelhead October 26 to November 23, 2008 This is indeed a special season, a season of legendary fish and legendary anglers. Non-steelheaders think it's insane to step out into a frost-covered morning and wade into a freezing , wild river. We know better though. Dustin and his team know pools full of large, Wild Steelhead awaiting any angler brave enough and prepared to face the elements. A few casts. A solid strike. A savage battle and it all comes together as you look down on the shimmering, broad shoulders of a large buck Steelhead in the shallow water at your feet. If this if what you live for, their Early Winter Steelhead season is for you.
Helicopter Fishing Options April 20 to November 23, 2008 They offer many unique helicopter fishing options for the adventure-minded angler. Helicopter allow the opportunity to fish untouched expanses of spectacular wilderness rivers that teem with Trophy Steelhead and Salmon. Approximate cost for Helicopter is $2000 to $4000, depending on which rivers are fished. I am sure you will enjoy your experience in the exclusive Skeena Valley fishery. "Where every cast is an adventure!" "Thanks for an unforgettable experience! First Steelhead on a fly, what more can I say ... appreciate all the hard work!" - Peter McLeod, England Cast here to read more testimonials from happy guests.
