...thanks for the trip report Doug Pullen!
My brother-in-law Allen and I went up to the
Smithers area in BC for our annual Steelhead fishing trip. The previous month
had seen heavy rains which caused most rivers in the area to be blown out.
However the rains subsided just before our arrival and the rivers were low and
clear. We were told that the run of summer Steelhead was low this year but we
remained confident.
Most days started out below zero but by the
afternoon was quite comfortable. We floated the Bulkley and Morice Rivers and
walked the Kispiox River. September is peak month for Steelhead fishermen; October
has much less fishermen. Most days we had the river to ourselves. We covered
many of our favorite runs but most fish seemed to be on vacation. I managed to
hook up with 3 Steelhead in the 7 days that we fished. Even though the fishing
was slow, the scenery was very picturesque with all the fall colours. Looking
forward to next year.
