I fished it once about 30 years ago, without any luck. Nowadays, it's one of the many east coast Van. Island rivers with a winter closure not far above the ocean. I just looked at the regs for the closure details:
"No Fishing upstream of the Sayward Road Bridge crossing, Nov 1-Apr 30"

Freshwater fishing regulations in B.C.

BC's freshwater fishing is managed through the Freshwater Fishing Regulation Synopsis which is published every two years and describes fishing opportunities throughout the province. Regional in-season regulation changes provide information to the public regarding changes to fishing...

Summer run steelhead river. the great Eric Carlisle used to take a trip there once and a while, and then write an article about it.

Steep terrain in the best area's. Back when I fished it I was only good for one run's effort. Vaguely recall it has some oddly timed salmon run, besides SR Steelhead. Adam and Eve, next watershed up has a more popular fishery, which one time included introduced brown trout.

This fishery is closed from November 1 until April 30 above Sayward rd. The road crosses the river 3 times so in classic bc fishing synopsis fashion its extra confusing.
