Rolling Stones singer Mick Jagger sung it a long time ago: "this could be the last time, maybe the last time I don't know"
As far as I know the MoE is now busy with the AMP and maybe next year lots of things will change.
I just booked 2 flights from Amsterdam to Smithers on Friday September 11 (oops)
I know it's maybe a little early for prime time steelheading, but we have other plans in October.
I also booked a Dodge Ram Van pickup truck at Thrifty's so we can transport our pontoons easily.
For me it is my 15th time and for my friend his 10th time to visit Steelhead Country and we do hope it will not be our last.
We don't mind paying more for licenses, but an 8-day license is too short for us and we also want to have the opportunity to change rivers when the circumstances ask for it, like high or coloured water.
Anyway, tranpsortation has been arranged and for 1 week we have a cabin at the Kispiox Steelhead Camp.
The 2nd week we will probably stay in Houston and do the Morice and Bulkley.
We have to check our fly boxes and also have to tie some new ones.
We will check our rods, reels and lines. Over and over again.
We are counting the days till September 11th, although we both have antother fishing trip scheduled. Erwin goes to Ireland and I will go to Sweden, both for some pike fishing. But that cannot be compared with our steelhead adventures in the Skeena Region!

We finished our first trip up to the skeena basin. We managed to stay an additional four days up north because we hit a wolf on our way home about an hour outside of the Morice. We tried to float/hike/explore all of the rivers we could during our trip. These included the skeena, kalam, bulkley, morice, kispiox, and babine. We probably spread ourselves a bit thin, but it was nice to see all of the rivers. The photo below was one of the first steelys we hooked on the Morice. I read about the Morice having some of the smaller fish, so when tyler landed this beauty we were pretty excited for the other rivers.
We had most of our action on the Morice, which is also the place we spent most of our time. The third person in our group was shannon who promised that if he got his first steelhead on this trip he would buy his own gear. Well shannon, no excuses now. The next photo shows one of the nice ones shannon landed that absolutely took him to town. Almost all of the fish we hooked into gave us an amazing acrobatic fight.
The other aspects of the trip were as enjoyable as covering the km's and km's of perfect steelhead runs. We had a number of nice black and grizzly bear encounters. Although our hike down the babine didn't produce any fish, the grizzly bears in the area made it a nice excursion. All of the folks we ran into along the way were very nice and helpful. The folks at McBike in Smithers hooked us up when we needed something and the people in Burns lake, while waiting for a new RAD, made our stay fun eh. Crystal and the gang from Mulvaney's Pub didn't mind waiting to much I hope as we fished thegame and our brews.
I also wanted to thank Big Red for allowing me to pick his brain via email over the last month. Very helpful and knowledgeable of the area and although casting the 3/0 hooks weren't the easiest we managed to get some fish on his flies. I might have to try out a spey rod to get those out, just joking Red, I'll stay with the 9 foot sticks. Hope to see you on the river again soon.

Hey Bram, thanks for the update, September can be good, all depends on the weather and rivers of course. Good news it is unlikely that there will be any new implementations in the 2010-11 regulations as the Quality Waters Committee has requested for funding to re-do the whole process which they say was flawed. Like we did not know this! Most B.C. anglers did not agree with the proposals being recommended by the QWC in all the meeting I attended. So things are as was, for now. Hope we meet on the river or rivers this fall. Last September on the Skeena was phenomenal for both Steelhead and Coho. The Bulkley was also fishing well, but the Steelhead were slow coming the first week, besides in early September, you can get them on a dry. We had our pants pulled down on numberous occasions, by big and really bad Steelhead, on the Skeena in Sept. Till later ( Big Red )
