A real Blow out! And Han with a nice coho he caught in a blown river!

When all rivers are blown there is not a lot we can do but hope for snow and frost!

We are back!

It took a while but we are back in town! We had a very extreme fall, with sun, wind and rain, rain and even more rain! It blew out the river for over 2 weeks but after the blow out we found steelhead! And lots of them. When the rivers when the rivers where out we started chasing coho! Even in a blown river they will eat a fly! Here are a couple pictures from different clients from this fall. I can not post all pictures because we would run out of space. And i did not receive all pictures from our clients yet. So i will start posting a couple at the time!

More 20 plus pound steel, and some dry fly action!

A very nice Skeena Buck for Ennio from Italy.

A very fresh, with sea lice covered skeena buck for Giuseppe from Italy. It turned out to be a 23 pound fish! look how fat it is!

Gerard was on a winning streak! he kept on landing big steelheads!

I had 3 days off and went fishing with my good friend and collegue steelhead guide Jaap Kalkman from Smithers. We had a blast!
We hooked a lot and half of them on dry flies!

Some deep water steelheading.

A nice buck on a dry.

Jaap with a nice chromer.

The perfect dry fly!

Sockeye spawning in some creeks.

One of many that day.

We had some company.

Gerard with a beautifull Hen.

A tipical BC day, Rain and sun!

It was just perfect!

Some where in Northern BC! No roads, no boat launches, no people just a remote river with no body but our selfs. Just the way i like it!






We caught so many fish this last 2 weeks there is just no time and space to place them. So i choose the ones i think are the best to give you a inpression how we experienced it. We hooked big fish and lots of fish. We caught them on the classic wet tip swing. And on dries! we fished the mighty skeena and some very remote rivers. From now on i will be in the remote steelhead camp. I have no internet so it will take some time for me to post some news! But i will promise you, it will be good!!!!! I hope you like the pics!

Tight lines and maybe to next year!? We have some limited space left for th 2011 season.

In one word AMAZING!

A true fish of a life time!


Gerard with a very nice and well deserved 24 pound buck.
silver bullit from the lower skeena!

Super buck on the fly!

Click on the picture to enlarge it! Then you can realy seen how those Skeena steelheads behave! they are more tail walking and out of the water then in the water. Problem! loose a lot of fish!

Amazing fish! We love them!

chubby hen.

The next one, .............and lost it again!

Derek needed to test his new reel.

The old one gave up on him after lots of steelhead and kings!

Gerard also caught Northern Coho and some nice sockeye.

In one word amazing! that is how steelhead fishing is right now on the Skeena river! We hooked lots of steelhead but lost most of them! why? just click on the pictures and have a look how they jump! we fish barbless so after a couple cart wheels, jumps and other balistic behaviour, the hook pops out! Gerard my client for this week was also being spooled a couple times and we had a dozen hooks that just bended out! These steelheads are just a day or so from the ocean and are in there prime of there life! If you not have hooked one from the lower Skeena, you do not know what i mean. But after loosing lots of steelhead he landed a dozen of very nice steelheads ranging from 8 to 24 pound in size! Some fish he lost where even bigger then that and one fish was very close to the 30 pound range!

If you would like to experiance this AMAZING fishing on the Skeena river! We have some limited space left for the 2011 season.

We are also moving to a very nice fishing lodge for the 2011 season. More info about this lodge will be posted later.

Steelheading continues to be super!

The last couple of day's have been from out of this world! we hooked so many steelhead that i lost count! And i can tell you that does not happen often to me! If i have to guess i would say we hooked over 50 steelhead the last couple of days.

Most fish we lost because those steelhead are just crazy! They jump so high and rip so much line that the hooked will just tear out or come out when tail walking down the Skeena river!

After using a different kind of hook we are able to land more fish!

You just have to be here to believe it!!!!

I had also 1 day off this week, that i spend with my good friend and steelhead guide Jaap Kalkman on the river to do some dry fly steelheading. Jaap took 2 on the dry and a landed a couple nice ones on the sink tip. I hope you will like the pics.
