It was a fantastic trip, with lots of fish action. The numbers of fish were there. The people that we met were great, the weather for the most part was good. During the first week, there were lots of people out on the river. There was alot of boats going up and down the river as well. As the end of the first week, came closer the amount of fishing pressure lightened up. As the second week, started there was hardly anyone out in the spots that we fished. The river stayed in great shape, and didn't colour up at all. The fly choices were lots of dark patterns, such as black, and combinations of black and blue together, with a little bit of flash on them. Black and chartreuse, together, black and orange, purple with orange, all of these flies were of the intruder style, tied on small size waddington shanks. Sink tips in the type 6, and type 3, were the most effective ways to get the fly down to most of the willing takers. The amount of fish in the two weeks that we were here, between two of us totaled up to somewhere around 80, steelhead hooked. That is alot of steelhead in one river. I never thought that we could find so many fish in my wildest dreams. The Bulkley River, is truly an awesome river, when the fish are in and the numbers are there. This will always be a river I will fish every year. The quality of fish, and the size of fish, Are absolutely incredible. They fight hard and jump the odd time, and run into your backing from time to time. These steelhead are some of the strongest, I have ever had the pleasure of having at the end of my line. Well that summs up the Bulkley River, trip up here in SMITHERS, BC,.........
