Sean Tate shows off a nice little BC steelead, taken on a purple marabou streamer |
Big water. A driftboat, pontoon boat or raft makes BC a lot eaiser. |
Morice River fish averaged 8 lbs with the largest just over 15 |
Beautifully colored, BC steelies are from the finest genetic pool. |

Jay with a big 15 pound wild buck. Taken on a Hardy reel and 8wt Sage RPL. Classic! |
BC rivers are many and impressive, with characteristics as varied as the people who fish them. |
Sean displays one of a few nice bright Coho we boated during this trip. A fun surprise. |

Scott Giles shows off a jack steelhead, even these guys put up quite a tussle |
This big mid-teens buck steelhead was 1 of 10 hooked in a single run on the Morice River. |
Jay bows his flyrod to a big steelhead during a long, hard run downstream |
Conditions upriver were far better than downstream, but the bulk of the fish had not made it up that far yet. |

A fat, rosy hen steelhead landed on the Morice river |
Bulkly fish aren't the biggest in BC, but certainly are magical. |
With the high water conditions we encountered, the slower the water proved far better fly fishing. |
Releasing another brilliant specimin. These fish were as pure, tough and beautiful as any steelhead we've ever seen. |
