Rivers Inlet, British Columbia Rivers Inlet is a long fiord-like inlet that pierces the B.C. coast just north of Vancouver Island. Near the head of the narrow inlet three large rivers, the Chuckwalla, the Kilbella and the Wannock disgorge from wilderness mountain valleys. Each of these rivers hosts strong runs of trophy class chinook. Every summer chinook bound for these three rivers, tarry near the head of Rivers Inlet waiting for nature's signal to begin their freshwater journey. This is not a destination to choose if you are looking for nonstop action.
