Best day ever!!!!
« on: October 10, 2004, 03:02:03 PM »
 I am not a skilled river fisherman at all i ushually dont get a thing.
;D I fished for 2.5 hours today at a small river north of Nanaimo. The first 2 hours i didnt hook a thing. i saw the odd chum roll. I decided to walk up to the next pool and try my luck there. I was useing a pink dymara spoon and a blue fox #4. First cast i throw the dymara into the current. My line tightens and i see a huge chrome coho take off. But i lost him after a second. I was sooo mad i missed my chance. But to my suprise the same one or a simaler one took my spoon and i wasnt letting him get away. I fought him for a while and got him in. He was a beauty about 8-10lbs. I was fishing alone and i decided to bring a camera just incase i caught one to show my parents i do catch fish. I skillfully fought the fish with one hand and tried to take a picture with the other. I didnt want to take the fish on the beach because it was C&R only. So i got a picture and let him go. Next cast i had a smaller coho hit but not get hooked. Next cast i got him and did the same thing as the one before and got a decent picture. He was about 5 pounds. After about 10 more cast i got a beauty cutthroat about 4 pounds and released it. After that it was time to go and boy was i happy. After 5 trips with nothing this more than made up for it ;D


I got some pics but i dont know how to post them??????

Nice report and very well done, a day to remember for a long time. ;D ;D

Well done on the releases as well, I see way too many anglers pulling them on the beach before releasing them, I saw this happen a couple of times in the last few days. :(

Maybe I better move back to the Island to my roots at Duncan and fish the streams there that I did  for many years while growing up there.

If you have them on digital e- mail to Rodney and he will do it for you, would love to see them.

Once again congratulation on what most likely was your best fishing day ever, you are on your way now. ;D ;D
