I tend to do a lot solo fishing when I'm exploring the waters of north-central BC. That was until my young black lab, named Kispa (short for Kispiox) joined me on her first steelie trip in 07. She was seven months at the time and each day was very eager to jump in the raft, eat rotten salmon and check out the fish. These are shots of Kispas time on the Babine.
Snowy days on the Babine River can be pretty magical. This gallery is a group of images from the past few steelhead seasons.
This gallery is a glimpse into the world that is Babine Norlakes Steelhead Camp. This small cozy camp, along with Pierce and Anita Clegg and the small band of characters that have worked at Norlakes helped launch my love for steelies, wilderness, British Columbia, steelie bums and the Canadian people.
More river views and angling moments from the Babine River.
Nate Bronson, an old friend introduced me to Pierce Clegg one snowy November at Pierce's steelhead camp on the banks of the Babine. This one trip, a short 10 days in the BC wilderness changed my life. This is a gallery of Pierce and Nate during a 2005 reunion.

Steelheading images from the Babine. Photos of steelhead, steelheaders and good times.

The Babine, there is only one. This is a fun gallery; grizzly bear, Kispa, steelhead, flies, outhouses and flat tires.
Babine River views, steelhead, anglers and boat drivers.
The Babine is always a good time, that is unless a griz is snacking on your leg. These shots are a little on the lighter side.
These images are from a fishing trip to the the Babine with AvA head guide Chris Meyer. These images are from back in 04.
Here is a ten shot of a few of our guests who fished with us during the 2008 guide season.
This day started out as a quick fish here on the Animas, our home waters, but the weather was perfect, the light just right and the fish on the bite. Chris Meyer and I fished the Animas River south of Durango January 18th and had a blast. The dogs had even more fun.
Kateri Clay rocks. She can launch perfect casts on her two-hander, out fish most dudes, rip whiskey all night and do it all with style. Kateri grew up in the Kispiox Valley. Check out this gallery of Kateri and Kispa lovin' on some steel.
Images from the remote waters of the upper Animas near Durango Colorado. The only way into these waters is by train, horse or by foot.

Interesting nature images from the woods to the stream. More goes on around us when we are over focused on the trout stream.
