And some GT pics!




It has been a tough week.

Derek with a nice skeena river buck.
Searching for steelhead in a tail out.
We found them but it has been a tough week. We averaged 1 winter steelhead a day this week.
But who cares about numbers when you are chasing silver!

It was a good day in paradise.



Tyler Kushnir from Speypages is staying with us for the week, and he had a great start with a 36 inch fresh buck taken from the Skeena River.
The rivers are still very low! And some rain would be very welcome!

The snow is melting!




We had some warmer weather lat week! It was so warm that i could fish in my T-shirt! It was paradise. But there is still lots of snow! But it starts to melt, and melting snow means steelhead moving in!
We had a nice exploration float and i landed a nice small buck, Derek lost one.
After that i fished the Skeena and i was rewarded with a super hot 36 inch fresh hen.
The picture will say enough!
Enjoy!

Guiding season starts soon.



After doing a exploration float trip, we found out that the river has changed a lot! Like every year we have to scout out the rivers for new prime steelhead spots and log jams!

But it was not a easy task! We had an extreme winter with a extreme amount of snow.
All the take in and out points are not accessible at all! And we had to be creative to get in and out of the river.
To give you a impression here are some photo's

Spring is finally here!


My Maldives trip photo's are not in yet! So you guy's have to wait a little bit longer! But i hope it will be worth the wait.

But after working on my new house for a couple of weeks it was time to go out and try to find some winter run Steelhead!

It has been very cold here in Terrace lately with temperatures going to minus -20c in some days.

Sind's last week we finally has some warmer weather plus 4c and some light rain.
The rivers are still very low and clear. The snow on the ground needs to melt! There is still between 2 and 3 feet of snow on the ground at this time.

It took some time to get to the river and walk thru a couple feet of snow, but we where rewarded with steelhead! I landed a very nice big old Buck that has been in the river for a while now. And Derek lost one after a down river unstopable run! All and all it was a nice day! But the ice and snow needs to melt to get the river up, and bring in some new fresh steelhead.

It will be a interesting year with the excessive snow we have lately!

And now i have to get back at the house again.


In a couple of weeks we start guiding again!
