Fishing Report for November 19 2009.

Well with November starting on the down slope, I could not make a cast till December and still say what an incredible start to the Steelhead season. If we get half as many tomorrow as we did today it would truly be great fishing.

Just want to say thanks to everyone that fished with us during the salmon season and for the steelhead fishermen who have and are planning trips in the near future.

The rains are here and the fishing is excellent. The summer runs are going strong with another strong return put out by the hardworkers at Robertson Creek Hatchery. Winter Steelhead is just around the corner and as the water subsides it should see some fresh fish enter the Stamp River. Trips are going out daily rain or shine. The water is high and with the Coho now starting to spawn it keeps these eager steelhead around. Simple, find the salmon and the steelies won't be far. Fishing with anything that resembles a salmon egg and you should have some good success. We are booking trips for the upcoming season so don't hesitate to give us a call. With the Christmas season coming, what better gift than to spend out on the river? Our contact info is as follows.

Fishing report for October 25 2009.

Truly an amazing start to the Steelhead year. The summer runs are aggressive as usual this time of year and in prime shape. With all the Chinook spawning there is plenty of food rolling on the bottom. Quite often we can see the steelies nosing in the gravel grabbing single eggs.

For some of the best action possibly of the year for steelhead now is the time to plan a trip. Some days still available for November so you won't want to miss out. We are booking days for Winter Steelhead as well starting in December. These fish will start entering in Late November and will come in till next may.

The Hatchery has over 300 steelhead in holding right now and after they are finished with the spawning of coho the fish will be trucked down to the lower river by the Ministry of Environment so there is more opportunity to catch summer runs in the lower river. Give us a call for best dates available. 1-250-723-0136 or 1-250-720-5449. We can be reached by e-mail as well at nick@westcoastrivercharters.ca Looking forward to fishing with you. Nick Hnennyj.
