Bob Hooton

We have the privilege of sharing with you the most recent articles written by a man who speaks for the love of Skeena River steelhead. Unlike the commercial fishing industry, or the sports fishing industry, or those who use steelhead for political advantage, or those who use steelhead to earn a living from environmentalism, or those who simply want to own it as aboriginal rights. Bob is the lone soldier fighting for the real people fishing with rod and reel, for the love of the sport.

Important Alerts:

ALERT: Due to the absence of notice by the Fish and Wildlife Branch, we are letting fisherman know, before you kill a rainbow trout to eat from Babine Lake, be aware almost all rainbow trout over 10 inches long, have tapeworms in them. If this means you will not eat them please release them before killing them.

NOTICE: If there are any important new updates on river or lake fishing in 2024 we will post it here.
