30 lb Skeena Steelhead!


Josh Buck and his 30 lb Steelhead landed on the Skeena River!  Well done, Josh, this is most certainly a lifetime fish!  Mike Bartlett Photo
With Steelhead numbers at the mouth of the Skeena River this year estimated to be nearly double that of the 10 year average, you could say that we have the makings of an excellent Steelhead return this year.  Josh Buck is certainly off to a great start, having landed this 30 lb Steelhead on the mainstem Skeena earlier this week!  When you're fishing the Skeena system, it's prudent (and exciting!) to always keep it in the back of your mind that fish of this size - and sometimes larger - can be migrating past you at any point in time...
