About Stephens Passage
As a canal in British Columbia, Canada, Stephens Passage fishes best when the flow is steady and the water is clear enough to see a foot or two down. Anglers who do well at Stephens Passage pay attention to small things: the angle of the current, the colour of the water, what's hatching, where the wading birds are working. Fly anglers can match local insect activity; spin anglers can run small spinners or soft plastics through the same lies.

Fishing Techniques
- For Chinook salmon
Vary your retrieve speed and depth until you find what the fish are responding to, as their preferences can change daily.
- For Pacific halibut
Use a spreader bar with multiple hooks to increase your chances of hooking a halibut that is investigating the bait.
- For Yelloweye rockfish
Yelloweye often hold near structure in deep water, so use heavy enough tackle to get down quickly and avoid snags; consider using a fish finder to locate promising spots.
