Wild Steelhead. Classic Runs. A Full Day on Legendary Water.
Few rivers in British Columbia carry the reputation of the Bulkley. Broad gravel bars, boulder-studded tailouts, and some of the most beautiful water in the entire Skeena system have made this river a favourite among seasoned anglers.
Our Bulkley River Day Trips are designed for guests who want to experience this iconic fishery without committing to a full lodge stay — or for those looking to add unforgettable days on the water to their northern BC itinerary.
The program is led by Jim Simonelli, a Smithers local who knows the Bulkley like few others. He knows where the fish hold and isn’t shy about doing whatever it takes to get them! Joining Jim are Andy Maillot and Cody Haggard — born-and-raised locals whose passion and knowledge of their home water runs deep.
This is classic steelhead fishing in its purest form: long swings, heart-stopping grabs, and prime water that holds some of the strongest fish in the Skeena watershed.
