Skeed Borkowski is here today to take us into the Northern Lights Lodge and the wilderness of Northern British Columbia.

We discover what it takes to catch bull trout on the fly. We talk about the relationship of these big rainbow trout to Skeena steelhead. We also talk about the Stillwater areas which we’ll be digging into more as we get going this year.  Skeed is one of the greatest names out there and he is the most interesting man in Northern Canada.​
