Catch of the day [Fishing]

[Ikeaparty]

@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

[Mizmazzle]

@Ikeaparty time to get a fly rod!!

[Ikeaparty]

@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!

[Mizmazzle]

@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).

[Mizmazzle]

@mmerkle hecks yea dude! Clean work!!

[mmerkle]

@Mizmazzle thanks! The real test is always “now can I see them on the water…?” Which is why I’m happy to tie up the floaters in bright colors mostly.

Upgraded to a baitcaster yesterday, got a Shimano technium and a Daiwa tatula 200, everyone here uses a baitcasting setup for salmon float fishing.

Went to dog leg at Capilano River after work today and caught a Chinook jack that I took home, the white chinook has cool meat, trying to improve my fillet game now

We are in the middle of an algae bloom here so the fishing has been lacking but last day of the school holidays Jacob caught a 33cm bream

[goosehd]

@aksu …sometimes those are the best days. Looks beautiful

A bad day of fishing is better than a great day at work...

The salmon are starting to get pretty red, was fishing way up the Chehalis River (the BC Chehalis) off the Forest service roads today and caught this firetruck coho

[Mizmazzle]

@Ikeaparty dude! I need to move to where you live!

Just done 6 of them

@Mizmazzle come out to Vancouver we can have a time!! Winter steelhead season is up next

[mmerkle]

Steelhead is like a religion here in Oregon. If I can get my daughter into it, then no one will care how much time I’m out on the river in the dark and cold ;). She loves the flies…also she’s three…so, swimming first.
