Elwha Double Cappuccino

Sediment from the Elwha River flows into the Straight of Juan De Fuca as demolition continues on Glines Canyon Dam.

Glines always held back the majority of sediment, because it is upstream of Elwha Dam. Together the dams trapped sediment that normally would have rinsed down the river over the last 100 years.

Effective 4/1/12 (now): New Skeena Regulations

We've been a bit remiss on an update here.  In short, there are B.C. resident and non-resident variences. For U.S. based Skeena lovers, here's some language that you'll be interested in:

Options for non-Canadians during Restricted Times and Zones

As a result of regulation changes to steelhead fishing in the Skeena Region, nonCanadian anglers are subject to restrictions that did not formerly exist. These restrictions generally occur on weekends during Canadian resident-only times and zones, meaning that non-Canadian anglers are able to fish for five days a week on most rivers. During off days, visiting anglers are encouraged to take a look around at all the region offers. There are many opportunities to continue river fishing, go lakefishing or partake in regional activities of interest. The following information is intended to help by providing ideas on things to do.

River Fishing

In the Skeena watershed, there are a number of steelhead fishing opportunities where non-Canadian anglers can fish seven days a week without restriction (see map on page 8). For example, the Skeena River can be fished seven days a week with the exception of the two zones identified by Map 4 and 5 (see page 9). The many Skeena River tributaries below Terrace are also open seven days, including the Exstew, Zymagotitz, Exchamsiks, Ecstall, Gitnadoix, Kasiks and Khyex rivers. For anglers in the Terrace area, the Kitsumkalum River is open on Saturdays from Glacier Creek to its confluence with the Skeena River as well. Anglers looking for alternate fishing options may want to consider the Nass watershed. It offers fall steelhead fishing opportunities and a Classified Waters license is not required.

See it for yourself: Access to the Elwha re-opens Today

The Upper Lake Mills Trail and Upper Lake Aldwell are now to the public after closure during the ongoing Elwha dam removal project. Now's the time to put on the muck boots and head out to see the astonishing transformation of this landscape, where the reservoirs are draining to reveal the river meandering through vast deltas of sediment impounded behind the dams.
