Squamish = How Sound

Fly fishing is my favourite way of catching pinks. 6wt.


Every Pink year I float fish for them never retaining any, just purely seeing how many I can hook on my 13'er with small floats and small hooks.  The best though is stepping in a run full of flyfishers and owning them ;D!!

13' pin rod? That may be a fun way to fish for them rather then using the 10'6".
Do you guys use dne floats for pinks?

13" pin rod? That may be a fun way to fish for them rather then using the 10"6'.
Do you guys use dne floats for pinks?


A 13 inch pin rod, that's pretty tiny, must be fun.

Light rod 9' and up float and colorado blade was my setup last year. I got Pink for every cast made although I was targeting coho.

It is very good experience for people getting into pin fishing. Fish almost every cast. Very good option to practice casting, setting hook and landing fish.

I will definitely give that a shot this coming year rather then just casting spoons and spinners. Thanks

Haha..maybe I should wait to get a pin till summer. I'd be choked if I lost a steelhead due to operator error..cause it's cold and I don't hook into many if at all on any given outing.
