Cool Video. Check it out.

From our Russian and Latvia friends, we received this video from last summer. We had a tough year for the king salmon. The run this year was only 50% OF THE NORMAL SIZE!
I have to thank them for making this nice and cool video.

Grab a cup of coffee and enjoy!

We are renovating the lodge.

We have been renovating our Lodge! Below you can see the result of a winters hard work. Now we will be expanding the lodge and almost double the size of the square footage.
We are not a HIGH END Lodge. Just a nice cozy lodge that understands the basic needs of our fly fishing guests. A clean Lodge, good food and serenity. 


Perfect conditions on the Skeena river

I was fishing with my buddy and guide line pro staff Jaap and we had a great time on the Skeena River.
Here are just a view pictures of fish we landed. That is why we fish the Skeena River!

Steelhead fever!

It continues to be a great week for steelheading. We lost some monsters and we landed some very big fish to!
We had the pleasure of guiding our returning clients and new clients. And they all landed steelhead.
Mik from Denmark who is a a pro staff and employee of A.Jensen fly rods landed the biggest steelhead of this season, a 25 pound buck just a couple days from the ocean! Mik lost even a bigger fish then this one! Yes the big ones always get away. He was field testing some new rods that will be on the market next spring. And boy they where tested! There is no better place on earth or lab to test these rods then the Skeena river!

Now our season for summer run steelhead ends, and we are looking forward to the remote steelhead camp! This camp has a special place in my heart, just the beauty of the changing colours are worth it to be here.
Mik With the biggest one of the season that has been landed.

Mik field testing the new A. Jensen Anadrom double handed rod. Yep it works!
Fighting a nice fish on the 11 foot A. jensen switch rod.
A very strong chrome bullet landed on the A. Jensen 11 foot switch rod. Skeena approved!
Peer with a 38 inch chrome bullet.
When the clients are having a break i had the chance to make a view casts. The result was this nice 22 pound buck.

Hopefully the fall will be as spectacular as this summer has been!

Steelhead fishing is still fantastic!

The last 2 weeks where very hot, with some very hot steelhead, and some very hot weather.

Here you can see the sea lice still attached to the fish. They do not come fresher then this.
We also have a facebook page for our fans.

New Lodge record!

We have a new Lodge record Chinook. It was to heavy to lift it out of the water. Not chrome but still a magnificent creature that needs to handled with respect and care. This one will produce a lot of kings!
Congratulations to Bruce who was the lucky angler and to Derek!
