B.C. Steel - 2009
Tuesday, October 20, 2009 at 12:06AM We finally compiled some solid shots from Cam Miller (as well as some mediocre stuff from me). All in all, this year's trip to B.C. was killer. Light on fish and heavy on shrunken manhood, but spectacular nonetheless.
Grabs came early in the week - before the Pleistocene-like weather shift.
The Skeena and tribs tend to bring cool people, cultures, and nationalities together. This trip was no different.
Big fish eluded us this year, but junior was sympathetic to the cause.
This particular grizz turd was still warm, but not for long. It was a sign of things to come.
Cam's cowboy coffee is delicious, but I prefered the heat delivery device on this day.
365 days and counting. Until then, shadow river will have to tide us over.

So........Bears don't just shit in the woods then! They also do it on forestry tracks.
Schweet Images! She can be an un-forgiving bitch, Mother Nature...
That Cam knows how to lay it down. Nice
Nice specs!
That looks like a great trip with all the elements of steelhead thrown in — bears, cold hands, shrunken units ... and a few fish. Props to Cam on the pics. Regarding the fishing, that's steelhead right. If we cared so much about the catch, and that's all we cared about, we'd stick to the Rocky Mountain trout streams or we'd just throw for Mahi in the Keys.
I think what makes chasing steelhead and other anadromous fish such a rush is that you never know if they're there, and if they are, in what numbers they might appear. That makes each one a downright treasure. Wish I'd been there. Thanks for the pics.
