Freshwater Fishing

The Bella Coola River system is one of the finest places to cast a line in British Columbia. Along with the Atnarko River (both are easily accessed from Highway 20) and 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.
 
As well, 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 and August. A guided river trip is a must for avid anglers - see Tours on this website. For more information on freshwater fishing, call the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Officer in Bella Coola, (250) 982-2421.  
 
Licenses for fishing both fresh and saltwater, as well as marine charts, can be purchased at Kopas Store and Hagensborg Mercantile Store.
