Located just outside of Terrace, British Columbia, Canada, in the heart of the Skeena River system is Deep Creek Lodge.
Few places in the world offer such a variety and abundance of fish, with fishing taking place on the Skeena, Kitimat and Kalum Rivers with their tributaries. This whole expanse has some of the world's richest fishing for the much sought after Steelhead, Coho, Sockeye, Chum, Chinook and Pink salmon to provide unsurpassed sport for eager fly angler. You never know, you could even set a new world record for the Skeena River which holds 2 world Records for King Salmon. A 92lb and then a 99lb caught just recently.
Because every species and every river presents different challenges, we provide all our guests with an experienced guide equipped with a river jet boat or a drift boat, who will take you to the best fishing places and will ensure that you have a successful and enjoyable experience. For we all know that once you have experienced the stunning scenery, world famous fishing along with the home comforts at Deep Creek lodge, you will want to return again and again.
Our fully modern lodge was constructed in 1999 and is immersed in a quiet green area surrounded by pristine forests and the extraordinary Coast Mountains of Northern British Columbia. It is conveniently located just 10 minutes outside the City of Terrace.
