  3. Fly Fishing
    Greetings all! Like many of you, I relish getting away from the city and finding that awesome new spot that few fish. Last year I took a trip to the most northern section of Vancouver Island to fish in the St. Joeseph River. Unfortunately things didn't work out, and I ended up having one hell...

    This is a barely used large spey reel in classic click and pawl style. Have had the stronger after market spring put in at Islander by their machinist to give it a bit more backbone for large steel or Chinook. The only blemish is a slight reel rash on the bottom of the reel about the size of 1/2...

Tremendous amount of oomph in the butt section for long casts or turning big fish. it also has that...
  6. Fly Tying
    I could not find a pattern that had the qualities I wanted so I came up with this. It is also my first attempt at tying a streamer and what a success it was! I had at least a dozen anglers ahead of me on the Bulkley River; all of whom where catching nothing. I put on my new creation and was...
  7. Fly Fishing
    I've been fishing my little stretch of the Bulkley a lot lately, mainly alone, mainly flies, mainly skunked. I'd like to swing a few with a companion for a change. If you live around, or are coming up for a visit, and want some company, let me know. Not prejudiced; I swing flies and fling lures...

  9. Spey Casting
    So I've been transferred to Kitimat for a couple of months. The fishing was great but lately the wind is just killing me. I'm using the airflo compact on my 7-8 wt and on my 10 wt. I was using SA but found the compact cast better and the SA got water logged after a few hours. It takes very...

  11. Fly Fishing
    I am new to BC and have a slightly different spin on what must be a typical question. I have read about BC Steelhead for 30 yrs, and would like to fish the spring runs in April. I am also a conservation biologist, concerned that many runs really can't handle the fishing pressure they receive...

  16. Fly Fishing
    This has been my first season targeting winter steelhead and I've heard the saying that they are the fish of 1,000 casts. I don't think this saying is entirely true and feel it should be adjusted to the fish of 10,000 paces. On my days out my legs are always way more sore from hiking than my...
  17. Spey Casting
    I've never tried the spey rod, though I've spent two seasons chasing steel with the single hader. I was fishing the Vedder yesterday and watched a few spey guys. They were decent casters and were able to hit the far bank at will. What I noticed was that they were not mending the line at all. To...
