Got lucky this morning. First ever Chilliwack steelhead. Just over 10 pounds.
I hope I can do as well on the Stamp next week.

Jeez, haven't seen a tee spoon in years. Those and Devons were the rage when I started.

When I was a pup we lived in Port Hardy and used T spoons for everything: trout in the river, trout in the lake, coho in the ocean, coho in the river, steelhead. Caught my first large coho in the chuck and first steelhead on them more years ago than I care to think about. I always carry one and after everything else fails, I give it a try cause they used to work and you never know.

Those are basiclly my go-to for trout in lakes, they work wonders and dare I say it, theyre better then blue foxes! Havnt tried them for much else tho I used them before for pinks in the ocean off beaches when its to windy to fly fish work great, but pinks will go after anything :)

The river definitely was not blown out on Sunday, but I did not have any luck myself. The river looked great, especially up top. A little more colour in the lower sections but still decent visibility. I only heard of one fish hooked in the mid section across from "the tree." I fished from "the tree" down to the fork, and I was the first through the big run above the fork. I also tried that little run that I had chicken out on last time out. The river had dropped a couple of feet so the wade across was easy enough, but the drop in water made the run smaller as well. It still looked like it might hold something, even a bull trout would have been nice, but alas... I also fished a run above Allison Canyon but it had been well worked over by a group of four before me. I did see a small fish roll in the tail out, a small trout of some sort, but could not entice it to take my offering. I was drifting egg sucking leeches and swinging green butted skunk patterns, I even tried drifting a stone fly, but that might have been a little premature.
