  good video, The ironic thing for me ( i used to live and fish in burry Port) is that the spot your catching those smoothhounds was all slag stone and muscle beds back in the 90s, nothing but rocks as far as the eye could see, thats why it was called the black point, but it had the same deep channel right in close, it was an awesome bass mark, they'd feed on the crab close in amongst the rocks, lots of big bass where also caught on plugs all around there, but the smooth hounds where pretty much non existent in that area unless you went further out on a boat or down to cefn sidan beach, the Sandy beach environment has obviously attracted different fish to the area over the years. I don't go down that way much anymore, so its interesting to see how things have changed, thanks for the upload.

  Theres feeding mullet and theres frenzied feeding mullet. The frenzied variety will take a fly more readily than the latter. Seeing mulet grazing is my biggest learning. I think they go in to frenzy mode and sound like pigs at a trough. I think I've learned that fly takeable mullet , have to exhibit this frenzied behaviour...not always the case, as some anglers do well fishing static on muddy estuaries...

  My experience of the lodge , guides and the fishing is a total opposite. I had the best fishing experience ever , great guides offering sound advice , awesome fishing , I caught more fish in ten days than I would in a lifetime in the UK. Some of the fish included fresh chinook to 35 pound, 20 pound plus chum, coho, sockeye , pinks most sea liced. I guess every experience is subjective , it’s that good I’ve booked again and I’ve fished BC many times.

  John sorry to hear your story, its a story that we hear on a regular basis. Thats why as a company we check out and validate all the destinations that we run. It is all to easy for a lodge to make a great looking website and promising the earth. This is such a bad representation of Canada and what great fishing the Skeena offers for all types of Salmon and Steelhead. The lodge you have travelled to only gives the area and the true good guides who work hard a bad name. John feel free to give us a call and we will be only too pleased to help you in the future, you will get 100% advice, we make sure the destination matches your expectations and if we think you are expecting too much we will tell you what is and is not possible. Plus we provide great detail pre trip information about what to take and not to takeso you are well prepared before you arrive. basicl;y the more prepared you are the easier it is for our guides and also you are much more likely to have a great time and rebook with us, so it is worth while us investing time in you.

  As a Canadian, we have many high-altitude reservoirs that rival our natural lakes in terms of beauty. Most of us prefer exploring wild waters and seeking out wild fish, but it's not always feasible. The Skeena River and the other famous rivers surrounding Terrace, BC, are quite popular among anglers. While many people may be after salmon, most Canadians and Americans specifically target the highly esteemed Steelhead. Due to the limited number of rivers and fishing spots, it is wise to rise early to secure a good location. I can assure you that I will never forget the experience of hooking and landing a 20lb Steelhead.
