There are two guest rooms upstairs and two bedrooms downstairs. Breakfast and dinner are served at the house and lunch is on the water with your guide. Enjoy Canadian cuisine in this beautiful place. For the ambitious fly tyers, there’s a fly tying table set up and ready to go.

Hot breakfast, river lunches, and Canadian-influenced dinners are included. Alcoholic beverages are not included and guests are welcome to bring their own beer, wine, and spirits.

Typical Length of Stay
Six (6) nights with five (5) fishing days or Seven (7) nights with six (6) fishing days.

Non-angling Activities and Options
Due to the lodge’s excellent location, there are opportunities for many non-angling activities. Whale watching tours can be arranged to view grey, humpback, and killer whales. Or take a jet boat tour on the Skeena and gaze at the beautiful scenery and wildlife that British Columbia has to offer – bears, moose, deer, and eagles all make their home in BC wilderness. A little north of Terrace, you can find an ancient Native American village that was entombed by lava hundreds of years ago. Now a national park, there are beautiful waterfalls and gorgeous water pools. Kincolith and Kasan are other Native American villages that have totem poles and gift shops.

Internet / Communications
There is Wi-Fi at the house and cell service for most networks.

How To Get There
Guests must book flights into Terrace, British Columbia (YXT), which can be accessed via a number of daily commercial flights from Vancouver, B.C.

Arrival and Departure Details / Times
If possible, it’s preferred all guests arrive on Sunday afternoon. There are morning, afternoon, and evening flights into Terrace from Vancouver. Skeena Wilderness will be waiting at the airport to transfer you to the house. Dinner is not offered on arrival day and this is on your own. There is a liquor store, tackle shop, and several pubs nearby for some food, spirits, and last-minute fishing items.

Documents Required
A valid passport is required for U.S. citizens to enter Canada. Anglers are also required to purchase a British Columbia freshwater fishing license. We do recommend doing that online prior to arrival at the lodge. You can purchase that general freshwater license online by clicking this link. Depending on the fishery for the day you may have to purchase an additional classified waters permit and that can be done while at the lodge.

Drunk Driving or Criminal Record
Anyone with a criminal record (including a drunk driving conviction) may be excluded from Canada. A waiver of exclusion may be issued but several weeks are required and a processing fee must be paid. Contact the Canadian Embassy or a Canadian Consulate in the U.S. for more information.
