Going remote with a heli!

We did a remote exploration trip to a helicopter only river. The river was a bit low and there was almost no steelhead in the river. We only saw 1 fish. But it was fun to raft down in complete wilderness. We did see moose and other wild life that made this trip a success. We have a strange year, the steelhead run is smaller than normal and they are very late! Maybe it is the long winter, the huge amount of snow, r the cold water! But they are not here in the numbers they should have been.
Difficult to see but you can see a 20 pound Buck steelhead laying in the sun. We did not manage to catch this fish. But it was sure fun to try!

Great weather and steelhead.

We had a great week of steelheading with some big fish! Senator (Oregon) Frank Moors landed the biggest fish of the week a 22 pound buck! The river came up and the Skeena River was blown out. This is a bit earlier then we are used to. But after a difficult week we are still hooking fish. All chrome just from the salt!

What a fish! This is a true fish of a life time!
