The Northern California Fly Fishing Board

Hey guys,
I'm looking to take a big steelhead fishing trip this year. I was thinking about going up to the Skeena, maybe even dropping the coin to stay at Nicholas Dean lodge, but I'm open to other options. Another friend thought we should try something in alaska because he thought they had equally as large fish and we might be able to do it on our own.

Any recommendations, thoughts or suggestions? ...we're looking for big fish, so the typical destinations in the lower 48 aren't really an option.

Cheers,

its probably to late in the year to book a bc steelhead trip. Most of the good lodges book up a year in advance. Your best bet would be to fly to smithers and rent a car and try to find a guide for a couple of days. There are many hotels in the area and some good campgrounds.

I would also consider fishing the clearwater or grand ronde this year. The run is shaping up to be a good one.

Ditto fishhawk re: BC trip this year. May I recommend camping on the Skeena in August 2009?
