Trout Moon
I was intent on making the last three moons in this twelve month series Gitksan moons until I found in my research that there were no names for the moons of October and November among the Gitksan people. I know the Nishga call the moon of October the Moon of Trout Fishing and I personally enjoy the fishing of Steelhead during the month of October especially in the Kispiox and the Skeena Rivers.
On Thanksgiving Day of 2004 I drove with great anticipation to an area on the upper Kispiox River. There was a light
drizzle of rain and I was fishing unfamiliar territory.
I studied the river around me and waded to an area where the current flowed over a shallow sandbar and dropped into a run beneath large cottonwood trees. A suitable place for Steelhead to rest protected by overhanging tree branches and deep water. My reward for careful movement and attention to the river was my first Steelhead on a fly. It was a
beautiful day for which I will always be thankful. So for me the moon in October will always be the Trout Moon.
