Cant remember the last time the Thompson was open in October but managed to take advantage of this and hit it with my two uncles and cousins on Thanksgiving Monday.

Didn’t land any fish but Braden hooked one at Borax Hole. Most fish reported caught at Nicola.

October 19th, hit the Thompson again with Scott and Doug. Got to Nicola at 5:30AM and started to show the newbies how to fish for steelhead.

Three casts later with only the moon’s brightness as our only light source, I hooked into a nice steelie.

By 9am the three of us touch 12 steelhead landing 5 (2 for Scott although one shook off at the beach, two for Higo with one shaking off when the leader was grabbed and 1 for Doug) long with some nice trout.

Hit a few more holes in the lower part of the river but nothing. Overall one of the best days on the Thompson with great guys, excellent weather and awesome fishing.
