This Skeena steelhead was not a big fish, but it was a stunner, in as good of shape as I’ve ever seen.

35 x 19.5’ and chrome as. We had spotted this one from the boat while floating. My friend Karl insisted we pull over and I fish it first. Thanks Pal, this was a beauty.

Puppy buddies.

Pullin’ on one

He’s alot better in a picture than taking one. More folks get their heads chopped off than during the medieval times.

Miles from the tide on the lower skeena. I love this photo, fish is wet, and well represented in the photo. This day started as a blizzard in early April. matching Patagonia coats is kinda funny too

These are the best and the brightest.

This one has not been around long.

For a guy who can’t swim he sure loves poking around in this thing.

Goes to show anyone can catch a steelhead

A great day fishing with friends.

A couple tag alongs.

Even the small kings have big pull

Love the pattern, not crazy about the smell

My old Green boat. That boat took me to alot of places my first season kicking around out here. Not gonna lie I have a little sellers remorse on this one.

The prez, a puppy and a beautiful spring Skeena steelhead.

This one passed its test

Late in the day fish are the best fish.

Me and Kalik out on the Skeena in my old green boat. We Have a little system for her to jump up into my arms. Its funny to most who witness it. i call her “my little white parakeet”

This one had Sea Lice.

Me, Skeena Chrome and the cutest puppy in the world.

After losing one minutes earlier, he was able to land this beauty.

Yes this is infact, a fine specimen.

Shallow wading and light tips, knocking on doors in search of spring steelhead.

Pullin’ on one. Caught on his secret little leech.

Not many pictures can do the king of Salmon justice. The iridescence, the colouring. this one tries.

I was 7 days without one to hand, I hooked fish nearly every day, fished well, cast well enough. I guess in the end I landed the one that counted. y personal best 41’ x 27’

They are magnificent fish. The King of salmon.

It’s difficult to tell the size or weight of these fish because they can all look big

Shortly before the river blew out for 2 days. Persistence rewarded

Sometimes the best pics are the ones that capture the awe that one sometimes experiences while fishing.

It was great to be able to introduce Seabass to the King.

venison burgers riverside. excuse my fine china.

Chinook salmon are the best pull in spey fishing.

A spectacular specimen to hand in the early morning light.

A stunning morning in Northern BC.

Paydirt after a couple of days of throwing the big gear.

As bright as they get. April steelheading on the Kitimat River. It was interesting we nailed two fish in this spot that day, both beautiful. We never got another fish there again all year. Just goes to show one-day they’re here the next they’re gone.

A beautiful day on the Skeena and a little Malbec at lunch. I don’t like bluebird days for fishing but it sure is nice at lunchtime.
