- Story
I originally intended to name the last three moons in the Gitksan lunar series, but I discovered that there are no traditional names for the October and November moons among the Gitksan.
The Nishga refer to October’s moon as the Moon of Trout Fishing. I personally enjoy fishing for Steelhead in October, especially in the Kispiox and Skeena Rivers.
On Thanksgiving Day in 2004, I fished the upper Kispiox River, where I caught my first Steelhead on a fly in a spot sheltered by cottonwood trees. It was a rewarding day, and for me, October will always be the Trout Moon.
