Looks Like Some New Water on the Dean

October 2010 was one of wettest months on record for all of British Columbia. The Dean river was especially hard hit with some major flooding. Here is a photo of the river mouth taken by Wayne Sissons of Bella Coola Air. Looks like some new water to explore as the river has split just above the mouth and this new river left channel looks like it has some great potential. I guess I will have to wait until next June to explore it when I am teaching a Chinook Salmon spey instructional weeks at BC West. If you are interested in joining us for Salmon or Steelhead trips on the Dean please give Whistler Flyfishing a call at 1-888-822-3474.

Kispiox River Girls take on Mantracker

Last summer my friend Alana Wadley and her pal Kaleigh Allen were featured on OLN's popular Mantracker show.These two young women grew up in the rugged paradise that is Kispiox BC, learning the ways of the wilderness from parents that were involved in guide outfitting.Kaleigh is the younger sister of Jim Allen,well known BC Steelhead guide and owner of The Kispiox Fishing Company (kispioxfishingco@hotmail.com). Alana's father is also a Steelhead guide and she has spent a good portion of her life working at northern BC fishing lodges. Currently Alana works at the luxurious Bear Claw Lodge where Kispiox River Fishing Companies' clients get to stay.

I have watched quite a few Mantracker episodes and think this is one of the most entertaining that I've seen. Fun to see two young bushwise girls give him the runaround.I have to admit I am a bit of an armchair quarterback when it comes to evading Mantracker. Honestly I'm pretty confident I could get away, but then again thats a pretty easy statement to make from the comfort of my living room.Here is part one of the Mantracker episode that was filmed just west of Smithers BC You can find the other 4 parts of the episode in the related videos section on youtube. If you keep a close eye you will even notice Alana sporting one of our custom Whistler Flyfishing New Era brand caps in the episode and the application video the girls submitted.



Here is the video the Kispiox girls submitted to OLN to get on Mantracker:
