Kiribati Rebounds
This central Pacific island is kicking out big bones
and GTs again
by Calvin Fuller
Cover: Steelhead season started back in June and
July on British Columbia’s Dean River, where angler
Michael White landed this chrome buck. This fall,
spey gurus will focus attention on the Inland North-
west and coastal waters from northern California all
the way to Anchorage, Alaska. Good luck out there.
