If you are a steelhead fisherman you will have heard of the Dean, Skeena, Kispiox, Babine, Morice, Bulkley River. These names are magical to the Steelhead fly fisher. At the very beginning of perhaps the most famous of all these legendary rivers lies the SUSTUT RIVER "mother of the Skeena".

The Sustut Valley remains pure and the river runs clear and breaks cleanly into pools and runs that may never have been fished. The Sustut flows as it has always flowed, and the Steelhead come as they have always come, every Autumn.

Unlike any other great Steelhead River in the Skeena River system, there are no roads to the Sustut. An angler who is lucky enough to be fishing for the giant Steelhead of the Sustut must fly in by plane or helicopter. Reflecting the uniqueness of the Sustut River Steelhead run, the Provincial Ministry of Environment has wisely accorded the Sustut with a "Class one" status. The last Class One River in B.C. with no road accesses.
