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

Mooooooore Skeena river chinook this week!

Not BIG but it is a main stem "Skeena river" fly! caught king! That is all what matters!
Hans with his second skeena river chinook that day!
A super fresh chrome chinook for Hans! As you can see he is happy with it. And a Happy Hans is a happy Derek.
Wim with his personal best that week!
Fishing is still super for chinook! We hooked a good number of fish and lost a fish over 60 pounds for sure! But that is fly fishing for chinook. You will only land a small percentage of the fish you hook. They are in a lot of times just to strong. But sooner or later we will land a true monster a fish over 60 or 70 pounds on the fly! Yes FLY!

But for now have a look on the fish we landed last week.

WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We and the Skeena river need your help! please read this email and do your part to preserve the future and excellent fishing!

Derek, imagine a massive oil spill less than a kilometre from your home or your child’s preschool. Your whole neighbourhood suffering terrible health effects. Being unable to move away, knowing the contamination is poisoning you. It happened to Susan and Michelle when oil giant Enbridge spilled over three million litres of Tar Sands oil into Michigan’s Kalamazoo River one year ago today. Enbridge hasn't cleaned up this mess, but they're already pushing plans that will threaten communities and salmon-bearing rivers from Alberta to British Columbia’s pristine coast. Stop their proposed pipeline now -- before we’re all on clean-up duty. We need only look to the Kalamazoo to understand what Enbridge's plan would cost us: Still closed a year later, the Kalamazoo harbors piles of oil that have even contaminated a lake over 40 km away.1 A report released this month showed that heavy metals (high levels are present in Tar Sands oil) are in the water supply at dangerous levels.2 Enbridge promised Michelle that they would pay for people to relocate from her neighbourhood (just 200 feet from the spill), but she hasn’t seen a dime. Of her 70 neighbours directly affected by the spill, the company has only helped three. Michelle has this message for you: "I don't want to see this happen to another community. You need to continue to fight, not just for yourself but for future generations." Can you help us stop Enbridge now?

NO MORE CHANCES: STOP ENBRIDGE'S PROPOSED TAR SANDS PIPELINE ACROSS CANADA Our communities and wildlife can't afford to suffer another Enbridge oil spill. On the anniversary of the three million litre Michigan spill, the company still hasn't cleaned up the mess. Let’s stop Enbridge from making the same mistake in Canada. Stop Enbridge Now >>

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.
