Catch of the day [Fishing]

@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 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

Nice one today -

@mmerkle I gotta get on the fly, its my first year fishing, but I know where this is heading haha. Seems like everyone around here floats for steelhead around the city and then further out like up in Squamish its pretty fly dominant.
So far my favorite way to catch fish I have learned is twitching a jig, feels so great when you pull up your rod and its suddenly way heavier and chaos breaks loose

Any tips for “just casting the leader”. I’ve got a short fish stick for tight streams, but often my leader is trying to find its way back into the guides (with the weight of the fly line pulling it down). Any hot tips to keep this from happening? Maybe something other than “use a shorter leader?” lol. Maybe there’s no trick and I already know the answer…I just don’t like it.
