I’m heading up to Region 6 next week—- I’m mortified to admit it but it will be my 43 rd year in a row going to Skeena Country—-makes me feel old as dirt!
But wow, the mid seventies thru the late 80’s were a wonderful time to be up there. I’d arrive in early August then come back south in November, stopping at the Thompson and stay in S.B. until the snow drove me away. But every year it gets more and more difficult to go back to that area—-it used to be a true outdoor experience but these days, I can truly say that we’re at a point where there are more fishermen then fish and the jet boats are so thick no spot on the Skeena ever gets a rest... I’m bringing my daughter this year—-I hope she at least gets a taste of what’s left... I stopped posting Steely pictures because of the flame brigade but here’s a few.
I’ve fished alone all my life so yes, if I wanted a hero shot it had to be a beached fish...flame on, W.B.
