50 pound Skeena power!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Carl is the happy man who landed this 50 pounder on the skeena!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are now fishing up our season for the chinooks! And we ended with a bang. In search of a real monster what better to find them in the Skeena river the home of many world records. After loosing a couple fish, what is part of the game in fly fishing for chinook, we hooked into this monster. When Carl set the hook the water exploded like a volkswagen thrown into the water and all hell broke loose. After a battle we managed to land this fish, but it did not fitted into the landing net!
This season has been very good to us with the chinooks, but we have to give the credits to our clients that did all a outstanding job fishing for these fish. A lot of folks tell us that fly fishing for chinook can't be done! Are they wrong. They told us, no way you will get them in the main stem Skeena! do we need to say more...........
Now we will have some fun with the chums! In my and Derek's opinion the most underestimated game fish on the fly. They pull like crazy and fight like hell! So all the ingredients for a perfect time!
Same fish other side this fish was almost to difficult to lift. And you know i have lifted a lot of big fish. But man what a fish!
Hans with a nice chum.
