	Skeena River Fishing, British Columbia
		Skeena tributary, where the fishing is often outstanding; steelhead can still be caught, although their numbers decline once spawning is over.
		Skeena, where the largest salmon spawn, the most memorable battles await you…In addition, summer-run steelhead begin their long migration upstream; these radiant fish can reach up to 20 or 30-pounds and in warm water, are especially spectacular fighters.

	Fish Stocks of the Pacific Coast \| Salmon \| Coho \| Skeena River
		The coho of the Lachmach River, which is located at the head of Work Channel, is a wild (not enhanced) population used as an indicator for populations on the north coast including the Skeena.
		The test fishery is primarily intended for in-season management of the Skeena sockeye fisheries, but because coho, chinook, steelhead and pink are also caught, it has been routinely used as an abundance index for all salmon species returning to the Skeena River.
		Coastal populations north of the Skeena, especially those in southeastern Alaska, appear to be robust while those to the south appear to be as depressed as those in the Upper Skeena.

	Why Skeena System Steelhead Matter: A Conservation Perspective
		Wild rivers and truly wild fish make the Skeena system so unique in contrast to the landscapes of devastation that once were so many of our other salmon and steelhead rivers.
		To swing a fly down and across on one of the Skeena system's rivers is to pay homage to a natural legacy and angling heritage that began to disappear a generation or two ago in the much of the Northwest, on both the American and Canadian sides of the border.
		The Babine River Foundation and North Coast Steelhead Alliance are working both on the ground locally and at all levels of the provincial and federal governments to ensure that the Skeena system's steelhead do not go the way of the American bison.

	Skeena Steelhead - Our Man In Canada #214, Fly Anglers OnLine.
		Rivers such as the Kispiox, where the world record fly-caught steelhead (33 pounds) was taken in 1962, leave an indelible impression, but there are many more where steelhead in the 20-pound-plus range regularly come to the fly.
		As the steelhead make their way up the Skeena, provided the mainstem is clear enough, there are fishing opportunities on some Skeena bars, mostly in the Kitwanga to Kispiox area, but even the reaches lower down towards Terrace produce steelhead as long as the river water is reasonable clear.
		The free-rising nature of Skeena steelhead may be explained by their multi-year fry-to-smolt residence in fresh water and the relatively short freshwater growing season.

		It also found that a low Skeena River coho escapement in 1997 may be an isolated event, not necessarily a sign that stocks are in trouble.
		The report also finds that low Skeena coho escapements in 1997 may be an isolated event unrelated to prior escapement levels, and not indicative of a long-term future trend of declining escapements.
		Alaska’s scientists found that a dramatic increase in the Canadian commercial net fishing for sockeye at the mouth of the Skeena River tracks almost perfectly with a corresponding decline in the number of early Skeena coho able to escape the Canadian net fishery and enter the river over the same period.
