Fished Bella Coola many times, usually in the fall for the pink/coho run, what a freaking blast on the fly rod. Fished in July once, the springs were in the river but not in great numbers. Campgrounds were a lot busier in July than September. I would fish the atnarko from the fisheries pool down to where it enters the Bella Coola. On the Bella Coola, you can fish baileys bridge. There's another spot just downstream of the highway bridge over the Bella Coola where a clear stream feeds into it, nice little spot right there. Lots of black bears in July, loads of grizzlies in September. Any more questions, PM me.
