Well what can i say, BC is the place to go. the country and fishing is just out of this world, and can't wait to get back there. the trip was with 12 angling mates and with Great river fishing adventures, there boats and guides are the best. and they work there butts off to get you what you want, as i said cant wait to get back there but next time for steelhead.
I will say, if you are up for a trip like this. give Dean a ring or email, he is the man to go with he and is guides work very hard. to make sure you have a trip of a like time,
The wild life was also out of this world, with as you can see bald eagles in the bay above. there was about 1000 of them feeding on fish, and on the river Pitt i also saw Bears and wolves. just amazing ,
And as you can see, what a fabulous place to fish. just amazing country side. the above photos are on the river Harrison.
I have never seen so many fish in a river systems, most were the Chum salmon.

Here's me playing my 2nd fish,
And above the fish, a bit bigger.
And then another bigger one, after this one i had to stop. five fish had done my back in, so i had a rest helping the other guys land the fish. and the then measure them and if they needed tagging, after a lot more fish it did slow down. so we moved off to the mouth of the river Pitt, there the guys were catching smaller fish in the 3 to 5 foot size. so after a bit thought i would have another go, my mistake the first bite i hit turned out to be the biggest fish of the day. all 71/2 foot of it,
And above a few photos of it, it did take about 11/2 hours to land and did my back in for good no more fishing that day.
