Last week the Sweaty Waders ambassadors for world peace and cheep PBR made the trek over the hill to Bozangeles to attend the first annual Save Wild Steelhead Festival. The event included films by the Fly Boys, Roll Cast Productions and Wahoo Films. Also featured were guest speakers Dylan Tomine, Jeff Bright, Rob Masonis and Rich Simms as well as artwork from Derek Deyoung. Fly Boys Paul and Jess did a great job putting on the event and raised a bunch of dough for the cause. Thanks for practicing what you preach boys! LINK

After a fruitless day on the Bulkley Nick and girlfriend Kaylin decided to fish with us on the Kispiox. After being pointed in the direction of a couple of pools by Scott Schumacher, Nick landed this incredible buck measuring 45″ x 25″ with an estimated weight of 37lbs. HOLY CRAP!!

Here at Sweetwater Fly Shop we try and look at the bright side. Steelhead returns to the Skeena system in B.C. are twice the 10 year average this year, which is great for those of us able to make the trip north. Charlie however will not. So to compensate for this great injustice he had fried chicken for lunch while admiring the steelhead flies that he won’t be fishing.
