Tidal Fraser River, November 3rd 2008: Something different
« on: November 03, 2008, 05:19:39 PM »
I wasn't going to post a story about today's short outing because it was basically a repeat of what has taken place in the last couple of weeks. ;D ::) Two more bull trout to hand, both were hooked on the first cast.

Bit of a nose bleed... :-\



Something slightly different today.



Any guess on what this is? ;) Usually the Tidal Fraser is much saltier in the winter months due to the absence of freshet, which allows some saltwater species to move in.

I managed to fished just several meters away from another patient fisher today. :o Its catch rate was a lot higher than mine. :-[



Snow geese were all over the place today too. It's a wild safari at Garry Point Park in November. ;D

Haha, if you must get into this....

It is actually a white-spotted greenling (Hexagrammos stelleri), not a kelp greenling (Hexagrammos decagrammus).  ;D

Caught a masked greenling once as a kid off the dock. They have awsome orange and white coloration

Caught plenty of those off the local docks when I was a kid.
