Did a bunch of exploring and fishing as I wasn't very familiar with the upper part of this river. Tried to a few spots around cal-cheak area and had no luck. Cool suspension bridge though. I was using rubber grub jigs and flies. Also went to where Whistler Bungee has their bridge but it was canyon there which couldn't be accessed.
As I was driving back home I remembered a spot that we used to access, however, since highway construction it is kind of inaccessible (no parking nearby). I parked up the highway and rode my bike down to it. I fished here for about 1/2 hour with dry flies and got one small rainbow. Going through my tackle I noticed an old beat up rooster tail in my tackle and put it on under a float and ended up catching a bunch of very feisty rainbows in the next hour. Wish I would have tried it at the other spots! I didn't want to leave but the wind picked up and I was freezing my butt off. Nice powerful river and I will be back with a six pack of rooster tails.
