November 6, 2011. Hi Noel, Thank you again for all your help
with our trip this fall. As you know, we had driven down to
Idaho this fall for the first time to fish Steelhead with
the rivers in Terrace and Smithers being high. The
experience fishing the rivers down there just did not
compare to Skeena Country. When we got word from you on
Monday October 3rd that the rivers in Terrace were coming
down in height, we hopped in our truck and drove 1800km to
spend the remaining 5 days of fishing around Terrace and
Smithers. We had an amazing trip and hooked several
Steelhead and a few Coho. Really appreciate your help and
tremendous knowledge of the area! As requested I have
attached a few photos. Thank you, Dave Brown
