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 )

Hey Brambo, the Skeena River is very big, when flyfishing for Steelhead in the Skeena River you fish the river like it is only as big as your casting. Steelhead travel up the shore line and there are so many places you can walk to that are great gravel bars, you can't expect to fly fish for Steelhead in same water as others fish gear. Reading the water, look for Steelhead runs and there are many, the Skeena River will reward you ten fold. Many miles of the Skeena can be floated, by both drift boats and pontoon boats. It is difficult for those who only spend a limited amount of time in the area, compared to those of us who have fished the Skeena for decades. My advice, hire a guide for a float and some walk ins, for the future, it will reward you in the long run. Tight lines ( Big Red )
