Default 2013 Skeena Trip with update.

Well just got back from our annual fishing trip on the Skeena River. Thought I would give you a quick update on conditions of river and the Salmon run.

- Fishing is good. The river channel has changed from the year before where we camp but we still caught fish. The water is the cleanest and the lowest its ever been for me and this is my 5th year going, Great conditions. We just had small runs and the fish were not as big as they have been in the past at this time. The Main run they say is coming this week. If you are planning on going this week you will have a great week of fishing with great weather. Here are a few pics from our trip. Good luck fishing.

Wow. I went from 2000 to 2005 and caught some great fish. This makes me wish I had kept my jet boat. Way to go and nice pics.
