Tried the hand at flyfishing again!
« on: August 27, 2007, 05:54:52 PM »
  So I got a call from TrophyHunter asking if I wanted to go fishing on Saturday, whether it be on the Fraser or Squamish.  I said sure might as well.  Since the tides were not friendly timing wise we went for Squamish instead.  To make a long story short, I got totally outfished by that beek, but did get my first Salmon ever on the fly and lost three others.  ;D TrophyHunter was into a far amount himself.  Fishing wasn't that hot and we had to work for our fish, except for one 20 min period when we were getting them on almost every cast.  But at that point, I had switched over to spoons and man that was a blast.  Landed 4 of 6 on spoons and love the take on them.  Anyhow, was nice to get out again, the casting was much better today, even for a very windy day, didn't hook myself once!! :o  ;D

 I was able to get some decent video of one of TrophyHunter's fish. If I can do it right, I'll put up the link!! :D

Thanks Danny, it sure was a bit wierd getting used to how they hit.  One buggar slammed the fly hard three times before I finally realized it was a fish!! ::) ;D

Anyhow, here is the link to the video.  I hope it works. ;D
