The Morice is the clean, lake-headed top of the Bulkley system above Houston, and it earns its keep by staying in shape when rain-fed rivers don't. It holds the same big sea-run fish a little later in the year, fishing best from late September through October. Cold, clear and powerful, it's swung-fly water through and through.
Under the surface
The Morice is the upper Bulkley system above Houston, a clean, lake-headed freestone that runs clear and cold and holds the same big Skeena steelhead later in the season. Being lake-fed, it tends to clarity and stability where rain-fed rivers blow out, which makes it a valuable card to have when the system is high. Big country, big fish, classic swung-fly runs.
Wading: Cold water, strong current
