Yakoun River Steelhead Packages

Remote Steelhead Fishing in Haida Gwaii, BC

The Yakoun River is one of the most remote winter steelhead fisheries in British Columbia.  Located on in Haida Gwaii, aka. the Queen Charlotte Islands, this is a last frontier of steelhead fishing.  Accessed by an extremely limited amount of anglers every winter, the Yakoun holds big steelhead, and is recognized as one of the finest winter steelhead fishing locations anywhere in BC.

Fishing the Yakoun River

The Yakoun River is quite easily the most unique winter-run steelhead fisheries in British Columbia. This remote river is located on Graham Island in Haida Gwaii, formerly known as the Queen Charlotte Islands. This is an untamed river, with very little pressure set in one of the most spectacular rainforests found anywhere.

The Yakoun doesn’t have huge numbers of returning steelhead but the ones that do are beasts. If you’re willing to put your time in the Yakoun will reward you with a 15-20 pound winter steelhead.

The river is accessed best by walk-n-wade fishing. Sometimes a raft will be used on guided day trips but expect to do some bush-wacking. The river itself is very easy to wade and the fishing is not terribly technical.  The fish hold in shallow riffles and tailouts of runs. A swung fly is effective as is conventional gear fishing. Anglers can expect one or two hookups a day on average while fishing the Yakoun during prime months.

A Unique Steelhead Program

During your week you will fish the Copper, Pallant and Yakoun rivers as well as other small coastal rivers near the lodge that only we can access. This is why Chromer offers this trip, because of its variety and its flexibility to have you on rivers when they’re at their best. Guests  can count on fishing the Yakoun River two or three times during their week’s stay. To maximize your time there, we fish the Yakoun when it has its most favourable water conditions during your stay.

The oceanside lodge you’ll be staying in while on your Haida Gwaii steelhead adventure is nestled on five acres of secluded beach and surrounded by the old growth rainforests found no where else in the world. This is a beautifully renovated cedar lodge with a comfortable atmosphere.
