Can you gives us some more details on the fishing methods...back bouncing and jet divers?  Was this a self guided trip or were there some hired guns involved?

Methods used were backtrolling from a jet boat. Check out Lure Jenson's Website. They have tech tips on various backtrolling methods. We were fishing out of our own boat. Most guides on the Skeena don't know how to consistantly catch fish backtrolling. The Americans are a lot better. Drift boats are used on the Kitmat River.

A nice spacy jet boat is needed to backtroll. Smaller boats will work but it will track poorly when backing down heavy current. Motion Marine hands down makes the best fishing boat on the market. Back boucing is a art and cannot be devloped over night.
