The good weather has arrived and our summer fishing season has started!  Our guides have been out fishing on the Kitimat River and the Chinook have been biting. These fresh fish are a challenge with their fast powerful runs.  When Chinook first enter the river they can be very aggressive and are an amazing salmon to catch on the fly.

Our spring Steelhead season is now over. Our guests caught some great Steelhead and enjoyed their time out on the rivers. With the melting snow pack the rivers are running high. We will be out fishing again later in June and look forward to the arrival of our first guests of the summer season.

We had a great week with cousins Rob and Kirk. The guys worked hard and were rewarded with several hookups with large Steelhead. Sometimes bringing them into the bank is not an easy task!

Despite the forecast for warmer days, the past week has still been fairly cool. Our anglers had some successful days but had to work hard for their fish this week. However, one lucky angler landed a 20lb and a 16lb Steelhead on his first day. Some fresh Steelhead were landed through the week as well as some nice trout.

The first week of April gave us a mix of weather with a couple of beautiful sunny days and a few days of snow, showing us that winter had not completely left yet! Our new guest Arkadiy landed four super Steelhead on his best day. This is definitely not the time for anglers who like fishing in warm weather! The forecast for next week is for warmer temperatures so it should start to feel more like spring.

Only a couple of weeks to go until our first anglers arrive. We are looking forward to being back on the rivers catching some feisty Steelhead and trout.

Even with the winter weather our guides are still out on the river enjoying some great fishing.  At this time of the year a bit of warm weather is all it takes to get us back on the water. Winter is a time of great contrasts with the white landscapes, evergreen forests, clear water and blue sky days.

We are counting the days to when the first spring Steelhead enter the coastal rivers.  By late March our first guests of the year will be exchanging stories of the fish landed during their trip. A  bonus for spring anglers are the good numbers of trout eagerly waiting to take your fly too!
