Steelhead
Paradise - Sustut River
Comfortable
wading, lots of backcast room and the beautiful
Skeena Mountains
for a backdrop, the Sustut was made for
fly-fishing. The Sustut
River also known as "Mother of the
Skeena" is the last of the
wilderness
rivers in the Skeena system. There are no roads. To fish
for
the giant steelhead of the Sustut, anglers must fly in by plane
or helicopter and must travel the river by jet boat or helicopter.
Fishing season begins in August for the largest run of king
salmon
in the Skeena system (averaging 20 to 30-pounds and
some over 50).
Early September steelhead begin to appear for
the best dry fly
fishing of the year. The largest steelhead
appear
in October. Season
ends November 1st.
Class one status, non-resident anglers must be guided. The
river
and its large steelhead are protected by limiting the number
of
anglers per day on the river and strictly enforcing "catch and
release."
Lodge is accessible by air. Five cozy riverside cabins with toilets
and showers. Hearty meals served in the main lodge. Lodge hosts
nine.
Includes: Accommodations, meals, guided fishing, transportation
and
expediting during your stay in Smithers.
