we will be planning a trip to the stamp river this year on the island. i remember last year people reporting 10+fish days and i would like to experience something similar what is the best time of year to go? also is there any suggestions on lodges and guides? as we will definitely be requiring some sort of guidance.

thank you

Is there any question who to connect with...Murphy's Sport Fishing is the best and if you can connect with Rolle...well...fish on.

Cheers

I've fished with a number of guides, and Rollie is good if you like adventures, just ask Hotrod!!! Matt from Murphy's is also a good choice. The best in my books with all due respect to the others would be the fishmeister, Kenny Myers. I've had a couple of 18 fish days with him, and there is nobody on the face of this earth that knows the river better. He was also the first to fish above the bucket from his jet.His # 1.250.720.5118. I've gone anywhere from the 15 of Dec. to April, and had great results, no matter when I've fished. :2cents:

What ever you do, don't go last weekend... I did, and all I caught was a chum. One more vote for the Murphy's guides though.

Thats one flow that is definitely on my to do list, one of these years.

It is no secret when these fish show up. Usually just prior to Christmas. I willl be heading over mid Dec. and will throw up a report on my return. All the guides that regularly work the waters of the Stamp/Spoat/Somass system are really good....I have been out with Matt three times n the past and he is very good and if there are fish in the neighbourhood he will get them on your line....Never been blanked on the system and best day was a dozen fish.The hatchery clones all fall into the 5-9 lb. range with some smaller fish. My largest was around 16-18 caught 2 years ago....................Ortho 8)

Ken Meyers of fishmiester!! :thumbup:

 

[hotrod]

Murphy's is the best!

Had many a great day with them, and they know more about the river than anyone else! (just kidding OGO)

January to march would be good for what you are looking for.

You can't go wrong with anytime in January or February. Also, Nick Hennyj (www.westcoastrivercharters.ca) is a great guide that I have been out with the last two years and both times we had double digit days - even chromers in March!

 

[IronNoggin]

January through February is the best most years. Whether high water or low, the fish will generally be in at that time. Just have to modify your approach for the conditions.

Ken grew up on this river, and literally knows it like the back of his hand. he has a new "military" style (read TOUGH!) Zode this year, and has already been putting it through it's paces. A tad larger than his last, and built like they knew where it was going to end up! There IS a reason we call him the FishMyster!!

Cheers,
Nog - Damn happy to call The Stamp My Back Yard!! ;D

 

[mr.pink]

dec - jan is normaly pretty good

IMHO Nick at West Coast River Charters http://www.westcoastrivercharters.ca is without a doubt, the best around. I have hooked fish on every trip and he's great to fish with. Two trips ago I took my wife and a couple of friends and we all had a great time.

Tight lines,
