Thanks, @BC Coast Pilot, @meathook and @Trev

@Sharphooks Yup, the tug is the drug lol The violent tug on the spoon sometimes will be arm wenching! Have yet to get that on the same scale on the fly yet. Mind you, I didn’t fly fish much back then. Lot more now but lot less fish now. So lots casting practices. I had a T steelhead pull me...

Ya, it’s really too bad and it feels like they shut the hatchery down without proper consulting all interest holders or try different rearing methods first. It would be really hard to bring it back up again, am afraid. Once it’s shutdown, then it’s really difficult to bring it back up again...

Oh wow @Drink That’s a gorgeous buck on the fly! Well done 👍

Nice fish! Scrambling up and down those rocks, steep slopes and dodging trains are an adventure itself! Well done. I preferred to chilled with the big crowd in Little Italy. lol

Hi BC Coast Pilot, Thanks, was this from another company in Canada? I tried a bunch of locally but they don’t carry it. I went to the Dutton site too and it’s in USD. Figure to try locally before going to them but might just be easier. Thanks,

Looking for the electric winch power cable and manual crack for Dutton-Laisson company (strong arm electric winch) TW 9000 12 volt DC. Official part: WIRING HARNESS and AUX. HANDLE ASSEMBLY If you have these two laying around and not using, please let me know and how much would you like to...

Here is mine prettiest T doe, big cast, way, way, way out and smacked it.

Nooooo.. not allowed in this thread.. don’t forget, this was many years ago lol Awesome pic! We had one of those hat that covers the ears from the T storms and chill winds. Awesome pic! Thats a slap! Look at that tail! 20 lb or so?

I think it’s going to be difficult to top that story, @Sharphooks 😳 Let’s see some magnificent slab from the T! No judgement from those early year please!

I think before the Steelhead Inn and couple other accommodations such as Shaw springs, Circle J motel was our main stay. The owner, I believe his name was Bill, was quite the character. We used to have to call multiple times to confirm a booking. lol If he likes you, then you are in or else...

That’s before cellphone and digital camera days..will have to dig up some print photos. Yup, John’s rock, someone called Ron’s rock, maybe I was thinking the rock a bit down from your spot, lol. Gotten quite a few from there. What a magical place. Both side of the Nicola. Well, sorry to...

Sharphooks, interesting lol Whatever works lol The stoneflys worked well in the cowichan for steelies too. Oh, man, the famous T, those fish are definitely different breeds, which we already all know too familiar, they would still go after the hardwares no matter how cold the water was...

Great write up and story telling as always Sharphooks! Looking forward to your next adventure. Will give Gaia a try too.

Awesome write up as usual. Is that stone fly am seeing? Thats just awesome. I think you and Redneck Dale are single handily keeping the fresh water section and steelhead awareness alive. Well done. Always looking forward to read your adventures.

Being using one for last 6-7 years. They are worth every penny IMO. As fast as 3 hp gas if required. Light, only about 27-30 LB including the battery. Can go 3-4 days with lake fishing trolling speed without charging. Pushed my pontoon boat about 5 mph with 3/4 speed and the battery can last...

Awesome write up as usual. It’s my bucket list. One day lol

Makes sense.. I have gotten a few with trolled flys but also quite a few fouled hooked trolling flys. For the experts? All the fouled hooked ones are hooked on their dorsal fin. They must use their lateral line to sense the fly at times?

Lots of them, hard to catch though..

Yup, the mighty T was special. Always looking forward to those October and November trips. Sure missed it. Hopefully one day we can all experience it again.
