High on BC



                                             




Not all falls work out as planned and when Henry couldn't make our September trip to Salmon River he started looking for other opportunities to get on the water.  Opportunity knocked on a recent trip to Vancouver and Henry found himself with the balance of half a day to find some water.  I've never fished this far West but Fritz says its amazing (Henry agrees).

                            

A good recommendation and a google search later Henry linked up with Valley Fishing Guides and its owner Clint Goyette.  Clint took great care of Henry and if you ever get a chance Henry recommends that you call Clint and his team. 

Coho Catch
Clint and Hen arrived at some guide-favorite waters southwest of Whistler on the Squamish River and Saged-up Henry with a heavier rod for Coho's and a 10' 4wt rod for Bull Trout.


The mountain clear water was flowing cold a clear from the snowy peaks at 45 degrees and when the full sun rose over the mountains the day warmed up to a lovely 68. 

Bull Trout smile for Henry
Clint guided Henry to multiple hook-ups and 4 Coho's brought to hand with a guide-fly called a Gremlin and converted Henry to High-stick Czech Nymphing egg patterns for bull trout.  (He offered to give all his indicators to me...he's a Czech convert!)

Gotta plan a trip out here!
