hi
I live in the lower mainland and enjoy lake fishing but am learning to fly fish.  right now I have a few float boats and a Minn kota 33lbs. I recently caught the fishing bug and haven't fished much since I was a young guy. I've been checking out a lot of the lakes in the lower mainland and have been slowly exploring the squamish and chilliwack areas too. I've got a light, med, and heavy casting rods and a 6wt 9ft fly rod. lure fishing is my preference but I like whatever works too so dough balls and bait is good to experiment with too 

happy fishing!

Hello fellow fishermen/women
My Name is Dan and I live in Vancouver.

I haven't fished for years (now 42) but just recently returned from a trip to Africa where I had the opportunity to fish in the Okavango Delta and I remembered how much I enjoyed it.

I am an RN and I work at VGH.

Just bought an ultralight spinning set up as lake and river fishing will be what I do most.

Will have lots of questions as fishing has become much more technical over the last 20 yrs.

Cheers,
Dan

Hello:
I am new to this forum.  I live on Vancouver Island and fly fish for trout and occasionally for steelhead.  My focus is on using soft-hackled flies.  Most of my fishing is with two handers but I still use a single hander now and then.  Looking forward to new interactions on this forum.

Cheers,
Gary
