HI, my name is Mitch. A year ago I moved to the Comox Valley from the mainland. I own a fly rod, saddly I have owned it for 2 years, and never put line on it.. My dad & I were going to start flyfishing when we moved to the Island. That hasn't totally happened yet. I have been out fishing a few times, as yet to have caught anything..

Although Dad caught 3 trout at Jim Mitchell Lake, I caught a plastic beer ring with an empty beer can in it...

Welcome to the board, lots of great people here with much wisdom. You landed yourself in a very nice place as your central to alot of different fisheries. Goodluck on your first fish, the trout are great in the rivers right now.....just dont bonk em!!!!

.....just dont bonk em!!!!

I haven't kept a fish in over 20 years... I love fishing, I hate the taste of fish except for deep fried Cod/Halibut.

Hey Mitch,

Welcome to the site. What size / weight rod do you have? I get back to the island to fish only a few times a year, but if you want to get into it with some locals you should pop by Nile Creek fly shop. Great shop, great people, lot's of help.

I stopped into Nile Creek and found out lots of great info, including when he does his Flycasting work shops :-) My rod is WAY too heavy I found out @ 8wt. Its just a cheap rob that I bought at crappy tire.. I think it'll stay lost, and I'll pick up a nice 5 or 6wt in the new year.
