The Thompson River is a tributary of the Fraser River, by Wolfgang Fabisch

The image shows the Thompson River with very low water levels.

The water is low and very clear, not good conditions for fly fishing. However, the river is usually closed under these conditions.

Our Home in British Columbia Canada, by Wolfgang Fabisch

Enough space, even on long journeys

With this vehicle combination you can get pretty far in Canada. The road can be left without the caravan. But be careful if you get stuck...

With the racing bike in Franconia, by Wolfgang Fabisch

Uphill downhill in Franconia

Of course, you can't compare Franconia with the Alps. However, in Franconia you get up altitude very quickly. Inexperienced people will probably push the bike more often.

Fly fishing in Berchtesgaden, Germany

Berchtesgaden is always worth a trip, just like that, or to fly-fish the various rivers. In fast water, the nymph is also a good choice.

One of the most famous places in Vancouver - Canada, by Wolfgang Fabisch

Canada Square, Vancouver Canada

 

Actually, it almost doesn't matter when you visit Vancouver in British Columbia, Canada. Okay, good rain gear is a must in the winter time. You should also always have an umbrella with you in summer. Whatever the weather in Vancouver, there's always something going on.

Small Steelhead river on Vancouver Island

That would be the correct view from the living room. Unfortunately it won't happen, property prices in BC are...

It's not a good idea to fall into the water here, by Wolfgang Fabisch

The Bulkley River out of control

 The Bulkley River is a large river, so it's like that at high tide. Falling into the water at this water level will probably result in the death of the person!

 

End of february 1990, my first steelhead over..., by Wolfgang Fabisch

My first steelhead over 70cm

Late February 1990 my first Steelhead over 70cm on my first trip to BC! Caught in a tributary of the Campbell River.

 

Very early in the morning on the Bulkley River,

Not to far away from the town of Smithers

Two fishermen on a jet boat and two in waders. Sometimes this situation is pretty tough for anglers in waders!

Before I went home, I really wanted to fish on the Bulkley River. Unfortunately, there were a few complications again. Finally, I finally reached Germany unharmed.

The drive on the Canada Highway leads into a fantastic mountain world. 1800 km, however, is quite a distance to Prince George. From there another 700 km to the south took us to a small steelhead river in BC.

The change in weather warned me to start the journey south. If you get stuck in the snow on the Alaska Highway, you have a real problem. Part two of the trip.

A nice area for fly fishing in the Alps. The Krimmler Ache ist ein schöner Fluss in einem Hochtal. The Krimmler Ache is a beautiful river in a high valley. However, the way there is quite exhausting. It is not possible to arrive by car, but by a cab.

Let's see how Corona continues this year. At this time last year everything was still normal. Whether the long-haul trips will work again in 2021, how the vaccinations will continue, etc. We don't have to do much more than to wait. Happy 2021 everyone!

 In the lower part the Wiesent has a lot of space to spread out. The valley there is over 1.5 km wide! The flood can spread their without causing damage. In summer, canals provide irrigation for the meadows.
