The Program

Our luxury tent camp is a short drive downriver from Smithers and your home for the week. With only six clients at a time, Bulkley Basecamp offers luxury "glamping" in an intimate setting. Every angler is sure to receive adequate attention both on and off the river. During the week and depending on the best available options, guests will have the ability to fish the Bulkley, Morice and Skeena.

Salmon Fishing, BC, Canada, Bulkley Steelhead

Each day anglers will leave camp for a section of river with ample and varied water with the opportunity to catch some of the biggest steelhead in the world. Your guide will be familiar with the beat and will provide you with the very best chance at success. Bulkley Basecamp is centrally located to access the best of the upper and lower Skeena regions. From a mere 5-minute drive to helicopter options in remote parts of the Babine, Copper and far upper Skeena, your options are almost endless. The camp simply represents the most varied steelhead experience possible!

The Bulkley system is our bread and butter and directly down from our camp is exceptional canyon access. These remote beats offer exciting swift water with a large hard-moving steelhead. A short drive up or downstream dramatically alters the runs and choppy ledgrerock gives way to wide sweeping glides. Whatever your preference we guarantee you'll find it here.

Over the course of your stay, you will make new friends, see varied and vibrant landscapes and improve your angling ability. Whether your goal is adding 10 ft to your cast, catching your first skater fish, learning to read water or advanced line control we are here to accommodate you. Eat, fish, relax, repeat.
