He's giving you a location where he won't be fishing.  So Hook which hole should I be fishing on the Squamish or Mamquam?  I want the same detailed directions you just gave the previous guy  ;D

I gave him that location because its a pretty productive beach, there is a lot of shoreline there to allow you to get away from others, especially if you choose to cross through the extremely slippery creek and fish the other side of it which not a lot of people do. Trust me I wasn't leading you to somewhere I don't fish, I fish there but haven't yet this year unfortunately. I also fish it from high tide down because I know how to meander my way along a narrow shallow area that gets me way out near the drop off but only knee deep. If I take more then 3 steps backwards im over me head !!

Fic - just follow the parade of cars into the Squamish valley, you will find the areas pretty easily  :P


I don't fish in any secret spots for pinks, there are plenty of them and I catch my share for sure. I also enjoy seeing others having fun around me, meeting new people and even helping out the newbies get into their first salmon when I notice them struggling. Got a nice young woman into her first salmon ever last cycle, first I had to help her with casting, then showing/explaining where the fish were and how to present the fly. Took maybe an hour until she got the hang of it, was actually the best part of my day watching her excitement when she first hooked up and then landed the first one.




HOOK - isn't crowd shy when it comes to salmon fishing  ;)

Pinks are not difficult to catch. Spoons, spinners, jigs, flies all work. Don't be asking specific spoons, spinners or colours :D

I wasn't looking for a specific spoon, just looking for others opinions, I always take a little of everything with me.

Yo big boy, you're getting too excited there. This is a family site, some photos are best shared only among friends.

I agree, and  the fish should not be handled like they are your personal boy toy. Keep that cupcakes in the bedroom. Or your fetish to yourself.

that picture was my buddy and I just being stupid one day at Furry Creek. that fish is plenty dead, I was actually about to clean it and bag it. I think both of us was running on no sleep meaning we had been awake well over 24hrs which tends to make people get weird. This was also 2009 so it was awhile ago  :o



HOOK - There is more stupid pics but I cant share cause daddy (Rodney) said so  :-X
