Yeah, you're right, that is something different. How do bulltrout fight? Acrobatic? Hold bottom and run?

Amazing trip from the looks of it and that water looks huge.

Bull trout give quite hard and lengthy battles.
I was there for almost 2 weeks, and I did well each trip to the river... so you can imagine how my arms felt.
They do not come to the surface and never give aerial acrobatic displays, but instead will hug bottom and bulldog for majority of the fight. The big ones will take you on some insane runs.
These are big flows too, so they have current to use as an advantage.
Once you get them close and they see the shore, that's when the second half of the battle begins. They usually make several more runs directly away from the shore.

We fished big water. Makes everything else in Southern Ontario a joke LOL.
It's hard to fish these small to medium flows we have here now.

I'd love to do Alaska!

Next trip may be east coast though.
I'm just crossing species off my list.
Perhaps sea-run atlantics?

My brother in law moved to New Brunswick a few years ago and was not a big fisherman. He had never fished with a fly rod and went on an excursion with a guide. He totally pissed off all his friends by catching a 34lb Atlantic!

Saw the other report on FF, this trip is just too much!

My girlfriend has relatives in North Vancouver and I have a few friends who live in Whistler. When we go back I am definately planning a day or 2 for fishing (cant get greedy!). Were you near those areas on this trip?

Looks like some very familiar water on the "river of mist" in the north part of the province for the other report ;-)

If you're in the Vancouver area, you've got the Vedder, Capilano and Squamish to try with some fairly easy access the the rivers.
