These are wild steelhead... not many places in the world left to fish for them. The skeena is legendary. So ya some people do dream of steelhead.

i lived up there for a while well putting in a water pipeline on the mountain. spent more time on the river then at work!!!

They were using 11 foot 7 or 8 weight rods and floating lines.

@@newflyfisher Do you know the brand names?

@@dylanupdyke4616 Pretty sure theyre islander fly reels

@@newflyfisher With sinking tip, then 25lb butt and 15lb tipit. .

Hey Dylan, I know you asked this question 2 years ago, but for spey rod and reel set ups. I am currently using a Hardy Demon 9/10 13'9 Spey rod paired with the Hardy Ultralite 10000. On the reel it goes 215yrds of 30 yrd backing double uni'd to 50lb OPST Lazar running line then I create a loop to loop connection by making and tying down a double surgeons know, then I loop on my Skagit head (720gr Aiflo Skagit F.I.S.T). Then I attach a variety of sink tips (T-8, T-11, T-14, T-17) in a variety of lengths (6ft, 7.5ft, 10ft, 12.5ft, 15ft) depending on water conditions. Since I used this rod for chinooks and steelhead, I use a 50lb 1.5ft butt section of Maxima Ultragreen Monofilament then blood knotted to a 3.5 leader of 30lb Maxima Ultragreen Monofilament line.

Don Lundy and I hear crickets...

@@williamcooke6056 LOL, No one willing to give that up? Maybe he could try Google Earth, I hear that works pretty good. :)

Let me guess , you have blue and pink hair and you are a liberal, right ?

This has always been a debated topic artic char, dolly , bull. I’ve spoken to fisheries in the north and south and it’s a different story from every mouth. I’ve caught all and my answer is yes artic char is trout family. Great show Tom !

@@curtisballer688 Its not ''debated'' char is its own sub species called Salvelinus en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvelinus Brook trout,lake trout,dolly,bull etc are part of it. salvelinus foutaise (fish of springs aka brook trout).. People are just misinformed because the salvelinus family has been recognized over a century 1836 by j richardson ..... whats even more amazing Not even rainbow trout are part of the trout family as of 1989, its taxonomy was moved to the Oncorhynchus family with cutthroat... .... but it sorta makes sense considering you have rainbows origins involved with all so many types of pacific salmon and migrating like them. Like its the odd one out...... now saying charr is Salmonidae with all the rest is probably what he means but its not part of sub species

Skeena River was literally my backyard Being native I fished all summer long and lived off it all winter long. Smoking salmon was so delicious. I really do miss it.

big ron I used to live there. The fishing was amazing.
