Drove passed Mission and decided to go back to Maple Ridge because the snow was extremely heavy this morning.
Waited until 10:30 am and convinced the missy to come with me.
Fished the canal and was into one briefly but it got away. Spoke to a father/daughter team and was told they hooked into 2 beauties today up above( did not specify location )- a 16lb wild and a small hatchery that they let go.
Water is looking excellent now.
Tight line guys and gals.

Typical Asian driver, freak out when you see the white stuff. ;D ;D ;D
I just went back to bed this morning when I heard rain drops outside, then made my way to the river at 1:00pm. ;D
It was a nice long walk for three hours, made a few casts, took some photos, was even served with a coffee at the end of the day by the Leaf Mobil. ;D

That is so true Rodney.....thought about highway 1 conditions and decided not worth it...........

I was on the highway from 6:20 from North Van, got past surrey to white out sorta conditions but I stuck with it, and it was fine when I got to Chilliwack.
Went to bait up my offering this AM, rather difficult since it was still in my fridge. Managed a hook up with one steelie but it was quickly lost :'( :'( :'(. I'll call it a success for the first outing of steelie season.

Cool pics.

Hit Hwy 1 about 7:00 am from North Van. Did question my sanity when we hit about 2 areas where it was a white out but driving down into Sumas Prairie the weather improved greatly. Hit an area around Lickman first, as walking down to fish a guy beside me hit into and landed a 14 to 15 lb hatchery. Third cast got a good hit but did not see the fish and it was off in about 10 seconds. Walked up river a bit and brought in a 12 to 13 lbs wild which was released at waters edge. Hooked into one more at that location but lost it early in the fight. Saw at least three hatcheries got in about 1 1/2 hours at that location.
Moved down stream a few miles near the railway bridge but nothing in that area.
Second time out and into three fish makes one think that this may be a good season. From other heard that no fish had been hooked in this area all AM.
