Lodge Record to Date: Skeena Chinook Salmon
Starting this year, we're going to post photos of our "Lodge Record Fish To Date,"on our blog for Steelhead, Chinook and Coho Salmon - be sure to check back soon! Featured in this post is a 35 lb Chinook Salmon caught last week by Brett Hallinan on his 15 ft 10 weight spey rod. Fly Fishing for Skeena Chinooks is part of what we call "big game fly fishing," and is fast becoming one of our more popular seasons. The best part? The season is just beginning. If you'd like to join us, we still have space available during our prime Summer season, starting in mid June and lasting through the end of July. Summer Chinooks average 20 to 40 lbs, are very aggressive and fight extremely hard - think about 40 lbs of fish hell bent on getting back to the salt - sometimes there's not a lot you can do but just hold on and hope! For more information, contact me at chadblack@nicholasdean.com or check out our Chinook Fly Fishing brochure.

Now that's a brute! Looking forward to seeing more "Lodge records". Someday it would be nice to come set one. FR
FR, glad that you like the photo! It was a very sizable fish (43 inches long) and put up a great fight on the Spey. Can't wait to fish for them myself :) CB
