I should probably make an announcement to let everyone know that we are currently rebuilding the Fly Gal site and will be launching it in and around the first week of September….

We have got some great friends in this sport and are privy to some pretty awesome guide sales and deals….
This said, we will have a new page of “Blow-out Sales and Deals” announcing fantastic last minute deals and discounts.

So…we’ll kick-start it with this:

Terrace, BC

With a recent cancellation during one of our best Summer Steelhead and Salmon weeks of the year, we are offering trips at a discounted rate of 20% off.

So, that means our lodge trips are starting at just $2850.00 CDN – which includes 5 days of guided fishing, all meals and 6 nights at Yellow Cedar Lodge.

The ever popular on-river Skeena Camp package is priced at $1860.00 – for 5 plus days of fishing!

If you’ve been thinking of going on a Steelhead trip but for whatever reason it hasn’t materialized, this is your chance at what may be one of the best Steelhead returns on the Skeena in years.

Steelhead numbers past the Tyee Test Fishery are nearly double the historical average, meaning that you’ve got an even better chance at hooking into the Skeena’s monster fish – fish approaching and well over 20 lbs that are just plain mean!

If one of these trips piques your interest, contact me at april@flygal.ca.

Available dates are August 15 to 21 – Lodge (6 spaces) and Skeena Camp (1 space) and August 22 to 28 – Lodge (3 spaces) and Skeena Camp (3 spaces)

When Lucy Bowden of Fishing for Everyone first contacted me, I was ecstatic that I had made contact with a hard-core Fly Gal from the UK….  She was super cool, down to Earth and exactly the kind of person I like to have in my life.  Plus her accent oozes sweetness with a touch of sarcasm and perfectly dry UK humor.

To tell her story would keep my fingers typing far too long, so I’ll let her tell you in her own words…. http://fishingforeveryone.com/mystory.asp

So, meet Lucy…the newset addition of cool fisher chicks that we are proud to know!  Check out her site at www.fishingforeveryone.com
