Fishing in the Stikine
Today was a great day. A group of guys and myself went out to spend the day fishing on the Stikine for steelhead. We managed to spot several large fish, but none took the hook. This was my first time freshwater fishing. I have gone saltwater fishing countless times, but never fresh. We spent most of our time at a spot just past the halfway point between Dease Lake and Telegraph Creek at a little one way bridge.
Before moving here the coldest temperature that I can remember experiencing was somewhere around -5. Today, pretty much all day, it was between -10 & -13. Very cold, but nothing compared to what lies ahead. The cold temperatues made from some interesting fishing. Casting with bulking gloves on was one thing, but keeping the lures thawed was impossible. After a couple of casts the lures were coated with a nice layer of ice - no wonder the fish weren't biting!
