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.

Any questions call the Fish & Wildlife Conservation Officer in Bella Coola, (250) 982-2421.

Licenses for fishing both fresh & saltwater, as well as marine charts, can be purchased at Kopas Store & Hagensborg Mercantile Store.
