The Morice River
The Morice River is the picture perfect place to skate a dry fly. It is medium sized with long, slow meandering runs, and large boulders to provide easy reads on where the steelhead lie .
The opportunity to experience the Morice is should not be missed. This river is a true wilderness experience. Our Morice river guide Ray Makowichuk has been guiding the river for 31 years. No one on the entire Skeena drainage has ever tailed as many Steelhead caught on dry flies as our guide Ray. 2008 guests raved about this experience. Frontier Farwest is the only lodge that can offer guided days on both the Bulkley and Morice Rivers. We highly recommend taking the opportunity to fish the Morice. A weeks trip with Fontier Farwest Steelhead Lodge offers you the the opportunity to fish 2 river camps on the Bulkley River, a day on the Morice, and many miles of exceptional water on the upper Bulkley.
The first fish that enter the Bulkley are destined for the Morice river, and in 2008 we were catching Steelhead on a consistent basis by August 25th. It is a lake fed river that rarely blows out which nearly ensures you great fishable water.
