Smithers - in the heart of the Bulkley Valley - provides fabulous access for fishers.
From lake trout to salmon and steelhead, Smithers welcomes anglers from around the world. Babine Lake to the north, including the famous Rainbow Alley delivers trout fishing at its best. Clear cold waters harbour rainbows from a couple of pounds, to much, much bigger! (And that's no fish tale!)
The Bulkley River flows by Smithers and is home to spring salmon (also known as King or Chinook) along with coho (silvers), sockeye and pink salmon and the highly prized steelhead. We have world-class guides to make your trip memorable, and we have knowledgeable staff in our fishing shops to help answer your questions and ensure you have the proper gear. Whatever your fishing pleasure - you will be satisfied here. Hundreds of lakes and hundreds of miles of river await your cast.
If you are fishing on your own - make sure to have a current fishing license and a current copy of the Sport Fishing Regulations Synopsis. More info can be found at Steelhead Paradise.
