You're going to leave it at that?

Lol....ok fine....lower mainland northside flow, (im sure most can figure it out easy enough, lol) big wild pig on a jig......unfortunately, I was fishing solo and was not able to get a picture before the release but a great birthday memory none the less (managed a small bit of video near end of fight but no real good look at the fish as I was simply just to excited and worried about landing it to bother fumbling with the camera at the time as well.

I once caught a rainbow trout in early November on the lower Fraser.

I'm sure no one will demand the details.

I once caught a 27" rainbow trout around Kamloops in mid-October

Realistically you'd be better off trying for coho or chum, unless you live in Chilliwack or something can don't mind wasting time looking for the few Steelhead around right now. Fresh coho and chum move into some of the systems on the north side of the Fraser as late as January.

Kihei on Maui will be my fly fishing paradise for 3 weeks in February... Can't wait.

Did you go for blue fins, mahi Mahi and sail fish?

Edit - oh nm. Fly fishing for what?

You can fly fish for those guys, they have fly rods up to 16#.

Though my gut is telling me he will be targetting bones.

I will be going after whatever I can get my hands on really. After doing some digging I found out my condo is adjacent to one of the only decent areas to fish bones but I am happy to get what I can. I will be renting a kayak so I will see what I can get with that as well. Bringing an 8wt and 10wt. The 8 for inshore and the 10 for if I can get out a ways and work some sort of structure off shore a bit with the kayak. Also planning on booking a 2am charter to get out for tuna and mahis. If they let me drag a fly I would be more than happy too but I've heard the charters are pretty stringent in how they do things. One of the big offshore fish would probably either blow my reel up or my 10wt but it would be worth the ride... Leave in 3 months today and I'm already counting the days lol.

They use gear to tease billfish close enough to the boat for a fly cast and then a cast is sort of bombed out 30 or 40 feet.

While there are bones in Hawaii, the Island are volcanic and so don't have to extensive shallow beaches and flats that make for good bone fishing. You pretty much have to go to Christmas Island. If you are a Marine you can go to Midway Island.

Ya RalphH unfortunately there aren't a ton of flats just a few shallower areas. There are bonefish around though as I know from first hand info that they are just not a lot. Me personally that is not my only species I want to target so it's not big deal. My last couple vacations I always bring a fly rod and book charters. Fun to get to explore different fisheries on the planet.

What part of the Vedder river do you want to find yourself at if your fishing for Bull Trout? Will area's around the Crossing/Teskey Rock work?

Winter chinook and prawns prawns prawns.
