Re: another gal seeking steelheads
If you are willing to get a guide, I believe April Vokey is in that region. That's the best advice I could offer
 If her guiding is anything like her tying sessions, it will be money very well spent. Flygal - Guided Steelhead and Salmon Fly Fishing and Instruction

Re: another gal seeking steelheads
April is on the Dean River I think. She does the two hander as well. Welcome to the forum.
Here is a video of her; You can probably contact her here; Flygal - Guided Steelhead and Salmon Fly Fishing and Instruction HuronRiverDan and jaybo41 like this.

Re: another gal seeking steelheads
Great minds think alike DiverDan! She mentioned during the tying session that she fishes the Skeena and tributaries. A quick look at google maps shows the Skeena going right past Terrace. Her website lists Spring and Fall Steelhead on the Skeena...hmmm.

Re: another gal seeking steelheads
April is a class act, I met her too briefly on two occasions. Excellent choice in a guide. And she really knows her way around with two handed rod.
One another note, I have seen more women fly fishing and spey fishing in the last two years on the tribs I fish then in the past 20 years combined. Good to see! HuronRiverDan and jaybo41 like this.

Re: another gal seeking steelheads
The vid clip of April was shot on the Dean. Think that's her 'Home Water.'

Re: another gal seeking steelheads
Thanks for the reply. I have contacted April but she is really booked when I have available time off. But, agree she is very skilled.
