One of the slowest weekends on record for February. 
Ran into the Bio on the way out Sunday. They're getting a tad nervous about this year's broodstock collection.
May have to put on the wanderin' boots and see if I can lend a hand...

... do you need broodstock from each month?
That's the preference. Especially so for the months Anglers target (January / February).

Huh? Those guys got bait! Looks like steelhead don't repeatedly bite bait like the Bob Hooton science indicates. LOL

Funny thing is Kenny, pretty well every time they wander along chucking guts, the Usual Suspects generally outfish them with artificials.
Kind of tend to agree with you regarding some of his science

The bulk of Mr. H's experience is Skeena and Skeena trib fish. Those fish would repeatedly bite a sparkplug if you gave them the chance.
I once bet a guy $20 I could catch a Bulkley fish on a cigarette butt. Easiest $ 20 I ever put in my pocket.
Winter fish (both hatch and wild): I've seen yarn out-fish bait 3 to 1 (when the guy with the yarn understands what presentation is all about)

Bait does still feel good in the pocket though! Where allowed of course.
We fished Saturday and Sunday. Saturday hooked 5 fish landed 3 . Sunday fished hard all day and nothing. Talked to a few other guys and they were much of the same on Sunday. The river is low and clear. Not many fresh fish in the river.
The Bio guys are having a real tough time collecting broodtsock. We bumped into 1 yesterday and chatted for a bit.

Gave the upper river a shot on Saturday, river was quite low but I am sure is rising as I type. No luck for me but one of the guide boats picked one up at MP. My brother's Hyde drift boat(that is sitting under 4 feet of snow in Fernie) would have been nice. I think I will have to convince him to store it out here this year...

Hey Nog, what's with the nuclear weaponry---I thought you were strictly a CP kind of guy to slow down the catch rate and leave some fish for the rest of us .... Nice fish, by the way!

LOL! Usually am Sharpy, but WTH, end of the season and the river is pretty much a Ghost Town of late. Somebody has to catch them!
Certainly has been a nice push of Freshies wander in the last little while! Kinda sweet to be working them with fingers that can actually FEEL for a change!
Cheers,
