Catch of the day [Fishing]
-
@goosehd so much fun! I struck out in Chilliwack on the weekend after 8 hours, last night went out after work for a couple hours and got this guy on last cast!
@Mizmazzle 20 gram float with around 5 feet of line and a 10mm light pink bead! Basically everyone is just floating beads down the rivers right now
-
@Ikeaparty ...any competition from the bears?
-
@goosehd thankfully no sightings! I suspect there is too many people on the river for that lower down, up higher they are probably scooping them up though!
-
@Ikeaparty so an egg imitation?
Nice work man. Looks like a great time. Was it a one day float trip or multiple?Edit: see it was a quick after work mission. So sick you have that kind of access to water like that close to home.
-
@Mizmazzle yeah, new to fishing so not super familiar with the terms haha but it was 20g float with about 2 feet of space down to the weight, 14g weight and then 3 feet of leader with a 10mm bead (the exact color below) and a size 0 barbless hook. I dont have a baitcasting setup yet so was just using a spinner setup and trying to give enough slack to float down the river
Friend also got a nice Coho on the same setup (aside from having baitcaster setup) except 8mm bead same color

@Ikeaparty badass!
-
@Mizmazzle really cool the spot we were at was like, 25 minutes from downtown Vancouver? Just drive across the bridge, park on the side of the road and walk down to the water, we had our waders but didnt even need them at this spot just stood on the rocks on the shore
-
@Ikeaparty time to get a fly rod!!
-
@Mizmazzle im sure thats in my future!! i only started fishing like a month and a half ago, extremely addicting, going again tonight to the same spot most likely!
-
@Ikeaparty hell yea man. “The tug is the drug!!”

Heyo, new to this thread. I’ve been fly fishing in Oregon for a few years now. It’s been mostly trout, but I’m trying to break into some rock fishing and migratory species.
Last tie:
Since the run a good fish on pink squirrels has subsided, I’ve calmed down in my fly construction (not that there’s anything terribly complex going on there, but it could be simpler).F-fly: (once I get some dyed feathers, I’ll probably tie up a rainbow).
