Normally when our winter steelhead program in Haida Gwaii shuts down we get some free time to catch up on things, but this year one program rolled right into the next. We worked with guide/outfitter Nomads of the North in Terrace BC and longtime friend Mike VanWormer (AKA VDubs). As usual he produced incredible trips for guests lucky […]
When you walk into Telly’s Grill, you can already get a sense of what this restaurant will look like once it is fully completed. At first glance, you notice the details on the ceiling. Straps that have gone through a kiln are placed creatively on the ceiling and wall. Giving a modern but homey feel, […]

It is one of the truly unique destinations in Canada that offers something for everyone to relate to.

Too many articles have been written about winter steelhead, so I shall tread lightly. As most readers know, this is a very difficult fishery for those who do it on a swung fly. Not to take anything away from indicator warriors or float fisherman, but swinging up a big, chrome tide fresh steelhead in absurdly […]
A few short years ago, aside from the steelhead fishing while guiding at Damdochax Lodge under the supervision of Hannah Belford some noteworthy incidents occurred. The experience, probably one of the most physically demanding guiding jobs of its kind was right down my alley although i admit some of it put me to the test. […]
One of the fun things about guiding is having the ability to target all kinds of species throughout the year. As much as I love steelhead I also enjoy all the other fish that we catch. In the summer I find myself chasing kings one day, and trout the next, and in the coastal camps […]
