Swing the Fly Issue 2.3 Winter 2014-15 | Page 20

Interesting to note that the action took place during the bright parts of the day. As time goes on, I've realized that bright conditions are not necessarily a dealbreaker when it comes to surface fishing for steelhead.

I continue to fish with more

confidence during bright

conditions and our fishing

during our first day in BC

validates this notion.

It was great to be back in

Skeena country after a 7

year hiatus and I was

thankful that I had decided

to fish the same area during

my prior trips which lended me some familiarity, even as a visiting fisherman. We felt so abundantly blessed to be in such a beautiful place with a few fish encounters as a great bonus.
