  • Just returned to DK after a week in Norway, fishing for Atlantic Salmon, "only" got 2 this year, due to extreme water level. My soul simply craves for more, always dreamed of visiting Skeena in the hunt for big Steelheads, this little video makes me wanna sell everything i own, go to Skeena and never return, its truly a place of dreams. Well done, beautiful video that tells a little about the "flyfisher madness" :)

    I´ve had a smile on my face the whole time watching this film, beautiful. Thanks!

    Wow, just saw this video and man what a great day you ladies had. I’m new to the PNW and still looking to land my first steelhead. You ladies landed enough for a lifetime, congrats on that. I’m signing up to see more great videos.
  • Born and raised in Kitimat ,,moved away a long time ago when you would drift the Kitimat in March and see no one all day,,,, miss those days miss the Rivers and the Monster Fish. Awsome video Girls..
  • This is the greatest flyfishing film ever. Exciting, beautiful. I love it

    Look at that water, the mountains . Thats flyfishing heaven. Only few of us will experience that kind of fishing. Funny , watched this yeeeeears ago. Still makes me want to go plan a vacation there. I should have listened to myself when younger. Because i would live there now. Being happy and not in an overcrowded country without trout let alone salmon ,steelhead etc . Norway is the closest when it comes to fishing for Salmon ,trout and lots of Greyling. But North America is flyfishing utopia.
  • Epic video. Thank you for sharing some of your steelheading adventures. I'm an avid angler myself, and to me there's nothing quite like hooking and landing one of these unbelievable fish. They're challenging and elusive, which makes it all the more rewarding when you finally get one! Cheers and tight lines!
  • I have flyfished for steelhead for some 40 years. I have read, watched, and fished it all....but hands down by far the BEST video I have watched on our sport. Whoever filmed the trip and put it together should win award!!! I grew up on the Klamath River in Northern California, live and fish the PNW, and have gone to BC....had a few days of multiple steelhead, BUT you folks rocked it!!!
  • This was an amazing video. Comparable to addicted fishings great videos. Thank you...I smiled the whole time! You two ladies are special...even the guide got to play because he didn't need to help you two. ❤

    Thank you for sharing. Beautiful place beautiful fish beautiful fisher girls. Great casting for sure. Skeena Rive is now on my bucket list. Just got one after three days on the Deschutes what a thrill!!!!
  • @pjr324
    Thanks. You conveyed the feeling we all get when we get into a fish and you did it on a Vid. Nice job.
  • This video encompasses everything that makes steelhead fishing great ... the scenery, the aesthetic, the joy of being with good friends (and the jealousy) and the lack of words to describe what it feels like to hook and land these fish ... really cool video!

    Awesome video from an amazing trip and I love the fact that Colby Bear got a “Security Supervisor” credit. Go Colby!!!

    The double header was incredible. And what a once in a lifetime picture along with it.
  • @dgrant5894
    Very nice video April, well done. Enjoyed every minute of it.
  • I really enjoyed watching the video. I use to be a very avid steelhead fisherman, in the Green River in Washington state. I was a spoon or spinner steelheader. The video made me want to go up to BC for some steelhead fishing. Thanks again for the video.
  • Its some of the best Flyfishing in the world , in some of my most favorite Places in the world, with some very skilled Anglers... love it!
  • Great video Love the dry fly shots !!! keep it up guys and gals
