It's Cutthroat season!

All winter we wait for it start to warm up a bit and for the salmon fry to emerge from the gravel and begin their migration out to sea. When this happens it triggers a feeding frenzy by diving ducks, gulls, herons, and most importantly Cutthroat trout!! Next to steelhead, Cutthroat trout are my favorite thing to fish and guide for, probably because of the variety of places, and methods we fly fish for them. It was a great day today, both weather and company wise, so enjoy some pics.

February 8th chasin' dinos!

The Outback Fishers!!!

Had a great day on the water with Des from Australia and his 2 sons Kyle and Sage, yup named Sage after the rod company just like my son! These kids were a couple keeners, and after missing a few bites in the beginning, they were all over those sturgeon! They managed to land 26 fish in under 4 hours, with 4 double headers (2 fish on at a time)They helped put some tags in new fish for the tagging program with the Fraser River Sturgeon Conservation Society. It was big smiles, and sore arms for the boys from ''down under'' before they had to jump on a plane back home. Nice work guy's :)

Another duck season comes to an end :(

Well another season comes to an end sadly! The last few days have been frosty and clear but today was  a bit milder with a thick low fog. All in all it was a great season. My regular duck hunting partner Chad and I are a little bummed, but probably not as much as my dog Fraser lol! Chad I relived a few memories of over a couple dozen hunts while enjoying a HUGE breakfast at our local "greasy spoon" here in Yarrow called the Vedder Mountain Grill. Only 8 more months till duck season ;)

Winter Sturgeon

Did the annual winter sturgeon trip with my buddies and their sons. We do it every year at the same time over the holidays to share some laughs and hopefully put some tags in some new fish for the mark recapture program that I'm part of with the Fraser River Sturgeon Conservation Society. The conditions were great and the fishing fantastic. We boated 50 fish in 5 hours, and only 16 were recaptures. Great to put some tags in a few new fish for the society. The boys were very busy landing, tagging, and recording data. Its great getting the kids involved with this. At one point all five rods had a bite at once, creating some interesting maneuvers! Looking forward to this trip again. Enjoy a couple pics from our day.

Bows, Bucks, and 'Bows!

 Just returned from my annual late season archery hunt for whitetail deer. This year was drastically different conditions than I'm used to for this hunt! It was very mild and wet making the hunting more challenging. I still managed to harvest another nice buck for the season with the bow! On a plus note, the river I hunt along is usually frozen and covered in snow, so this trip between hunting in the morning and evenings I managed to to slip a few casts in here and there! The river was just starting to ice up but I managed to find some rainbows swinging an "electrik" leech on a floating line, very cool :)
