pblundon Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Hello Again! Made a post a few months ago about moving to Calgary and got a few great responses...thanks again! I have finally made it to Calgary(via BC for the last several years, and Newfoundland originally) and am beginning to settle in. Just got back from a few weeks on the Skeena and am getting the itch to fish( took all of two days). Have moved to the sunnyside area and have been exploring the river the last few evenings looking for potential places to fish and it is looking promising. Just wondering if anyone has any tips for fishing this stretch. It is my understanding that browns use the upper stretches of river to spawn so maybe I should be avoiding this section altogether???? Also, looks like I am going to be free for the next couple of weeks so if anyone is looking for someone to fish/drift/shuttle with or wants to take pity on me and help me get my head around the Bow in any way, I would be greatly indebted. Hope to here from you soon. Phillip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
