Pristine waters
Coquihalla River, British Columbia, July 2007
Evan did a little scouting trip up to the fly fishin only Coquihalla river, in search of the rare summer steelhead. This beautiful river has been closed to fishing for several years in effort to preserve the steelhead stock. Paradoxically, the hatchery found that steelhead returns were stronger when the river was open to fisherman. Turns out that fly fisherman are better conservationists then they think. Their presence keep poachers away from the river.
Not a steelhead but maybe one day.
