“My week of Oct 23-29 on the Bulkley can be summarized in one word . . . Brrrrrr! The river was low and cold with highs of 40º F early in the week and 36º at the end. The week started with a cold but sunny day, then came the rain and finally snow. I went 6 for 8, an average of about one landed fish per day. The Bulkley Lodges’ food, staff and services continue to be outstanding. The Scotch whiskey waiting for me as I removed my freezing waders each day was greatly appreciated. ” -  Fly Water Angler Jim Mongillo

“Another spectacular 35″er from a river half the size of most, clear as a bell and one you can readily wade across.  Only two fishermen a week and by far the most remote river to fish” – Brad Freeburg

Pesca Maya Lodge

“Yes a good time was had by all. We were very fortunate with the weather and we really enjoyed our guide, Pancho. He really helped with Karen and I on the water and we caught even more bonefish than last year. Her casting improved greatly and he kept putting us in a perfect position to fish. Thanks for helping with those arrangements.”

Tim's El Rancho 2

According to head guide Damon Scott, “Tim Hall might have had the best trip of anyone all year as he could do no wrong, and caught easily over 100 fish in two days time. We were fishing on Wemenuche Valley Ranch this day with a peacock Caddis(12) up top and a # 16 black and blue Pickpocket down low on 5x fluorocarbon. He caught the Bow first and then two casts later caught this amazing Cut-Bow on the Dry”  Well done Tim!

Silver Hilton Lodge

This is Dale Jessup with a 30 pound fish from the Silver Hilton.   Dale had emailed us the day before, rightly annoyed by the really tough water conditions. He had commented that he might as well be fishing in swimming pool. The next day he emailed us back and said that maybe he shouldn’t complain as he just caught this 30 pound buck in water with less than one foot of visibility! So the moral of the story is if you stay inside playing cards, you won’t catch a 30 pounder! Congratulations Dale!Wk #3 2009 030

“Steelhead fishing can be unpredictable and I went to the Secret System in early September with tightly managed expectations and a deep hope for a great experience. Well, the steelhead gods were smiling and I received the greatest gift I could hope for…lots of big aggressive fish that slashed at my dry fly like tuna busting bait, freight train takes on wets fished shallow, and beautiful intimate water where I could hit every lie. My best day ended with fingers cut by burning backing, Dale soaked from tailing thrashing fish, a dozen boils and 14 fish hooked. Not that numbers really matter with an experience like this, but what the heck…23 for 29. What a gift!”  – Ed Rinker
