TU and Animas River Restoration Project 2009

snow up to your...

After it dumps 35-inches in 4 days you go ride or ski right? No no, head for the creek. We post-holed, nearly set off an avalanche, made a ton of casts and had a blast. Durango Colorado did in-fact receive a lot of snow last week. We are now up to %100 of normal snowpack. Not many places in the West can say that. Happy trout come spring and summer.

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.
