Bear Claw Lodge

FreshwaterSeason not confirmedUpper Kispiox Valley, north of Hazelton — Kispiox, Skeena and Bulkley rivers

Bear Claw is a family-owned, eight-room lodge built in 2003 in the upper Kispiox Valley of northern British Columbia. Summers are sold as whole-lodge buy-outs; in the fall the family's Kispiox Fishing Company runs a six-day steelhead fly-fishing package for up to 14 anglers, two to a guide, on the Kispiox, Skeena and Bulkley. Guides reach the water on foot, by raft, by jet boat or by helicopter.
