The Bella Coola River System is one of the finest places to cast a line in BC.
Along with the Atnarko River & dozens of streams, Anglers can try for Cutthroat and Rainbow trout, Rocky Mountain whitefish and Dolly Varden.
It is easy wading into Thorsen Creek, scenically splendid as it meanders through a mossy forest, to fly fish for Cutthroat trout and Dolly Varden.
Chinook salmon run mid-May to mid-July, Coho salmon in September and October, Chum salmon in late July and Pink salmon in late July & August.
A Guided River Trip is a must for Avid Anglers.
