Fraser Valley 2013.11.30 — The student becomes the master

Some rain has come to color up the water and bring it up to a level where we could have some success.  This long overdue moisture has finally arrived and just in time to finish off the season.  Yup, that’s right, the season has come to an end for us now.  We may still go out one more time next week to another river just to see but not expecting anything at all.  The year has been a great success for us all, especially for Kemal as he has graduated with honors.

Today, with some fresh fish in the system.  Lots of wild coho but Kemal managed to save the day with this.

The student has mastered the technique of catching these illusive cohos. We all managed to hook something but nothing worth keeping. We had some beauties as well but as always, wild.

Temperatures are dropping and raincoats are mandatory now. Keeping warm is a challenge. Gas is expensive with the shorter trips. Is it time to give it up? One more time next week before we through in the towel and wait until February 2014 when the steelheads are in bigger numbers. So if i don’t post next week, you know what happened. Just in case you don’t hear from me for awhile, have a great holiday and see you again next year!!!
