Chilliwack River, January 10th 2012
« on: January 10, 2012, 10:52:19 AM »
Headed out again this morning, river in perfect condition.  Had come down a bit from yesterday.  Decided to start with roe sacks in the first section.  Nothing doing again there this morning.  Headed up river and thru a pink worm on, about 8 or so casts later, get hit like a freight train and a spirited fight is on!!  After a good tussle this nice bullet doe comes to hand and being that I have to be in Vancouver around noon today I decided that my day would be done again just like that.  Brought  better camera today as well, so got a couple better pics of the doe bullet..lol






And now I don't get to head out till Sunday again at the earliest.... can't wait already...

Tight lines.

definitely nothing to complain about...at this rate you'll reach your limit before the end of the month...seems you've got the touch.  ;)

i'm 0 for 2 and hopefully i can get out more soon!

 Saw a fisherman a couple hundred feet below me land a fish on a bright red worm and take pictures. I wonder if that was you.
 It was nice cool morning, made all the better by releasing my first steelhead of the year. Was a 10 lb. hatchery buck caught on a spinner.

i hear ya... last year i caught one on my 2nd cast...hatchery buck of about 6lbs.  i let it go because i drove in from Richmond and i wanted to keep fishing... didn't even get a sniff after that and went home after fishing for about 10hrs and 10kms of walking...great day over all, but bittersweet because i was exhausted and let down.
