fall floats away

what a stunning fall it was here in bc. as temps hold on the cool side, the river flow is up and green but will drop back to low flows soon. winter is close, but the late season steelie fishing is just getting going. more fall shots and steelies in the next few days.

skeena coho with a nasty lamprey suck wound. most of the ho are up the small tribs now doing their thing. bears continue to search them out as they pair up on redds.

Easter Eggs, Taxes, Small Flies and BIG TROUT

Spring is in the air...images: Last week Tony Lockwood took a break from the slopes and grabbed his son Trenton for a day of fishing with Animas Valley Anglers guide Chris Meyer. It was a great day on the water, but this monster brown was the cherry. Trenton did a great job landing this beast on light tippet and a small fly. The San Juan is starting to get the reputation of having hard to catch fish. Biologists say the Juan now has a split population between rainbows and browns. It is no secret that brown trout are harder to catch than bows. The second image is a big late winter Animas cutbow. The last image is an Animas bow Kispa has her eye on.

Chris and Serra tie the knot in Belize...you better Belizeit!
