Hey Guys!
I'm heading out to Haida Gwaii at the end of July to do a bit of fishing. I have never been there before and would really like to try for some fresh water steelhead in Pallant Creek.
I am aware that between September-May (I may have the exact months wrong, I don't have my regulation book with me at the moment) it is considered a class II water, and the necessity of having a steelhead stamp at those times.
However, are there even steelhead in the creek around July-August. If so how should I target them using a fly rod? Originally I was thinking of buying a 13 ft spey rod (9wt) but I don't want to get anything before I am sure. (Would a beefed up 6 wt do the job?)
Also, what type of fly's would be best to use?
On another note, does anyone have experience with free diving for Dungeness crabs around Moresby Camp/Alliford bay area?
