[Murmillo]

Hi, I am a beginner in fly fishing. I want to target Coho and Steel head both in Capillano and Vedder….

I have started fishing last year in BC and so far I landed lots of sockey, spring, chum salmon and one steelhead…  :)but no coho..    

I don’t want to but very cheep stuffs but I am an international student so budget is limited…

Can anybody please suggest me about ROD, REEL, LINE and flies…..
Brand and model name will be great as I will try to purchase them from ebay.
Is there any fair or shop of used fishing stuffs in or around Vancouver?
Thx..

I got my first fly fishing set up….
Rob in the ‘Fred’s Custom tackle’ assembled that for me…
9wt Temple Fork signature series rod, Dragonfly Expedition reel, Rio sink tip fly line.
In total CAD 327..

He gave me some pink and coho flies for freeeeee..

I am excited to try this one. But first I need to practice…
Can I practice my casting in a soccer field without a hook? Can anybody let me know what are the pros and cons of this practice?
Cheers,
Murmillo

Soccer field's are the perfect place to learn to cast. Remember, when fly casting, accelerate the rod to a sudden stop. The sudden stop makes the loops in the air nice and tight

Tie a piece of yarn in place of your hook.

Also Murmillo is this the first time you have cast a flyline? If so be modest in your first attempts.  If you have a friend who has done some flycasting try and go out with that individual for  your practise sessions. For a beginner, with a sinktip flyline, throwing 30 feet of flyline comfortably would be a good start. Also, if you have a spare spool for your reel, I would recommend picking up some cheap floating line and using that as your line to learn with. Easier to learn flycasting with a floating line, and if you beat that line  up during practise sessions no worries.  My two cents worth.

Tie a piece of yarn in place of your hook.

Definitely a good safe practice
