Well my sister and brother in law just got back from a Skeena river and trib rafting trip and reported they got some trout. But upon closer inspection looks like they actually landed a couple of nice pinks! You can see how they might have been mistaken for trout as one is so shiny and has some pink on it but one has the obvious spots and the other is very faint. Well done!
As a British Columbia and fisherman I can not express how lucky we are at this time of the year.
Generally for most fisher people August might be a time for casting dries on a river but in BC I am grateful for the multitude of options that are available. At the start of August I got to dry fly fish a classified river as well as fly fish Cariboo lakes for large rainbows.
Meanwhile just minutes from my house I was able to tap into some white sturgeon as well as some sockeye and pinks from the mighty Fraser River.
Also this month my fly fishing buddy took me Czech nymphing for some steelhead.
All of these opportunities taking place in the month of August and in BC.
It doesn’t get much better than this. Looking forward to next month targeting coho, chum and fall Stillwater rainbows! Stay tuned.
