OCTOBER FISHING TRIPS IN BC
THE TOP BC FISHING TRIPS FOR OCTOBER & FALL
If you’re ready for some serious steelhead and salmon fishing in British Columbia then October definitely is your month. This is prime time for steelhead fishing in northern BC in the Skeena region but it’s also a great time to be salmon fishing on the rivers of BC’s southern region. October is an all-round solid month for fishing, with options province wide, here is a breakdown of what you can expect…OCTOBER FISHING IN NORTHERN BC
Northern BC is home to some of the greatest steelhead fishing found anywhere in the world and October can be one of the best months of the year to visit the region. If you are planning a steelhead fishing trip to BC be sure to read our Steelhead Trip Planning Tips Page, it has detailed information on getting the most out of your trip. If you’re familiar with fishing in northern BC you’ve heard of rivers like the Bulkley, Kispiox, Copper, Babine and Skeena. If you’re not familiar with this region these are the top steelhead rivers in BC. We offer guided packages on all of them and you can see our BC Steelhead Lodge Page for more info, links and pricing. We are a licensed booking agency for the top steelhead trips in BC and carry prime dates on many rivers, so if you are indeed interested in a trip be sure to drop us a line. The contact form at the bottom of this page will put you in touch with our pro team and we can send you more info and seasonal availability.
RIVER SALMON FISHING IN OCTOBER
On the south coast of British Columbia, closer to Vancouver, there is always very good river fishing for salmon in October, targeting mainly chum and coho salmon, our BC Fall Salmon Packages will put you into the heart of the best river fishing around. You can travel further, but you won’t find any good salmon fishing that late in northern BC or the Interior. Best to stick with BC’s south coast and rivers near Vancouver like the Harrison, Vedder, Fraser or Squamish for October salmon fishing. If you do want to go a little further you can head over to Vancouver Island but there isn’t any real benefit in terms of fishing. River salmon fishing is dependant on river conditions. Lower water will make for tougher fishing, as will really high water which happens sometimes on heavy rain events. Good river levels and clarity are key to a successful October river fishing trip.
IS THERE SALTWATER SALMON FISHING IN OCTOBER?
There is a bit of saltwater salmon fishing in October but most charter operators and definitely all the lodges have all but wrapped up for the season. The majority of salmon in October have migrated into coastal rivers, leaving a void for ocean fishing. We do have some saltwater salmon fishing near Vancouver available but hitting the rivers is usually a much better bet this time of year. Saltwater fishing won’t really pick up again until mid November, when the opportunity to target Winter Chinook Salmon presents itself.
