Chilliwack River, April 14th 2011
« on: April 14, 2011, 01:44:23 PM »
I had a late start and didnt get to the river until about 9am which made me fishing at about 9:15, I was the only spey or fly fisherman in between 3 other guys throwing guts (i know they were because i was talking to them) and i was the only one that hooked and landed a fish. I was done at 10:25 this morning  ;D

Nice HOOK  ;) Always helps the confidence to get one on a fly beside the gear guys.  Just wished it happened more often for me ;D

Very nice! Especially amongst the gear.

Ater a few outings with my single hander, I decided that throwing heavy tips and flies with one hand sucks. I picked up my first spey rod this week, hopefully the reel and line will come tomorrow and then let the obsession begin!

As another Dave caught in a fly drought, good on ya Hook.  While I continue to double haul single handed, it has been tiresome tossing those big flies, but the spey is still out of my budget.  Maybe if the government agrees to give me a raise this year, I might be able to pay off those student loans and have some dough to stimulate the economic recovery of local fly suppliers.  Until then the 9 footer is going to have to do to toss those big flies.

Steelie-Slayer - its not any specific pattern but my own creation. Its an Intruder style fly.

Yes it felt very good pulling the first fish in the run after having bait guys fishing it for awhile before my arrival. I saw a fish roll in the same line and was thinking there would be others in that same line of current  ;D who knows it could have even been the same fish i saw


I have also been in a big drought until the last month or so almost hooking up every trip or several times each trip, kept losing them to aerial gymnastics though  :'(

In the same boat, however, if you are using those C hooks (vs the J hooks I tend to use) you should keep more of those hooked up.
