Fishing Report for October 20th 2008.

I would like to dedicate this report to my wife. She is heading over seas for 7 weeks so I was happy to have spent a great day on the river with her.

And as she is telling everyone, she did outfish me that day.

The Steelhead season is officially underway with some great fishing happening the past week. Yesterday and the day before were great with well over 20 steelies on the line and with more salmon spawning daily it should stay busy. Numbers through the falls counter report over 400 since September, with many more that I had the chance to fish over throughout the summer. Most fish are silver with lots of energy jumping multiple times when hooked. As November approaches we will start to see our first winter runs entering the system. The past 2 years have enabled our customers to see some of these early winter fish to be caught around the first week of November. This year should see the results of more winter steelhead production so comparing to the summers we should have a great season. For a great trip call us today. The Stamp is world famous and many stories and dreams have been made over a beautiful steelhead charging down the river. Our toll free number is 1-866-839-8411 or cell 1-250-720-5449. Look for an update in November, till then good luck on the flow.

Fishing Report for October 8th 2008.

I would first like to thank every one for taking part in an incredible month of fishing on the Stamp River.

The fishing has truly been excellent with some bigger than normal Coho hitting the river. Our biggest Caught by "Fred Biddlecombe" tipping the scale at 20.12 pounds. I will have a picture on the next report.

The water has come up with the rain and the coho were biting spinners quite well yesterday as well as chinook. Before that I had been seeing lots of Steelhead waiting for these salmon to spawn so November should be an amazing month to catch the prize of the Stamp. There are still fish entering daily and should continue through the end of the month.

We are starting to gear up for the Nitinat River and will fish for about 2 weeks before heading back to start the long steelhead season. These fish on average are a bit bigger than the Stamp Coho and you have a chance on every trip to catch a 20 pounder. With the number or Coho back this year and the size, I am anticipating a good return to the Nitinat as reports of Coho around everywhere this year is very promising.

Don't forget to book your trip for the last bit of Salmon and for the upcoming Steelhead season. Give us a call. 1-866-839-8411 or 1-250-723-0136.
