All Hell broke loose in NW BC!

Have a look at these pictures it will tell the story what happend in 24 hours!
Ou camp is flooded but hopefully we can safe the camp. But for now there is no way for us to go up there! All the high way's are closed and till further notice the will be closed.
This is not how we want to start our fall steelhead camp, but this is beyond our control! The Nass river topped at 7,70 meters high! What is a record i think! As soon i can check out the camp i will post more pics and a update but the river will be changed big time and what about the steelhead did they survive a tragedy like this! We will see soon i hope! This is North West BC a dangerous place to live and this is just one of many things that can go wrong, and we are far away from civilization!

Pure steel.

We had some tough conditions last week. The river came up over 6 feet in 24 hours so most of our fishing was over for that week. But when the river was dropping again the boy's where back in action. The lost a lot of high jumping, cart wheeling steelheads. But they also managed to land a bunch. From now on we will start running our remote steelhead camp in search of pristine steelhead and nature.


Derek had the chance to fish for a couple minutes and landed this beauty!
Dick with a heavty buck!
Bas with a very nice steelie.

More steel.

Pure steel!
Dick, with his hen.
Gert, with a well deserved fish.

Problem up loading pics!

Paula with a well deserved healthy hen from the lower skeena river.
Welcome in my office.
Dave landed this very fresh and bright king while steelheading the lower skeena river.
We thought dave hooked a 30 pound steelhead for sure but after 35 minutes we found out the reason why this fish was so strong. A very nice bonus, steelheding the lower skeena river.


It took some time but we have some new pics to up load. Some how the pics we are up loading are not showing in the right format. So we have to trow a lot of good pics away. It might be the setting in what the pic is shot, or it might be some thing else. But we can't use them.
So here are some pics that we can use!

Drama on the kitimat river!

A drift boat up side down in the kitimat. We called the rcmp and search and resque.
We tried to get to the boat, but the current was to strong and to deep.
A bad picture but the rcmp towed the boat back to shore. There where 5 people in it that all survived the flip over. The dog did not made it. It was tied down to the boat and had no chance of surviving this drama! So never tie a dog to the boat!
The kitimat river is a very dangerous river, it claims ives almost every year, because people underestimate the power of the water. There are lot's of log jams that can kill you in a second.
That is why we use AIRE self bailing rafts, the top of the line in rafts!

A view more Chinooks

Zlatko with a heavty Skeena river chinook. Before he landed this one he lost a monster that spooled him!
Zlatko with his first chinook on the fly!
