Quite often, while a chum is pulling at your rod, you’d think you’re struggling with a powerful King, deceived by the size and power of the “dogs”, as Chums are friendly called here.
You will cook and eat your preys in the lodge barbecue.??The first 4 days, you will be busy fishing in Skeena and Kalum rivers, and in some of the other torrential kind of tributaries, small rivers that can be reached on foot or riding on a 4WD along hiking trails and that conceal even more splendid undisturbed trophies than the main rivers.For two more days, you’ll fish in the Kitimat and other classified rivers in the area, all equally isolated compared to the pools within walking distance.
