Thanks guys :)

I'm really looking forward to working out here, especially in the fly fishing industry. I'm also looking forward to be able to fly fish all year round :D

Rich, if there are any bugle trout out here I'll be sure to catch them.

Thanks for the info Robert. I'll look him up. The Whistler / Squamish River area is beautiful. I've enjoyed the fishing I've done there in the past.

Yes, I've bought a couple of the $6 'monsters'. Unfortunately, I haven't got out to fish with them yet. So far from the reports I've heard the salmon are just starting to come into the rivers. There are some early fish but it'll be another couple weeks till the run is really on. My plan is to get ou...

There are a number of good lakes in the Calabogie and Lanark regions. Buy a Backroads Mapbook, print out the stocking lists, and do some exploring. Also, check out some of the previous posts over the last few years that mention some of the lakes.

BC Salmon Flies

Hi Everyone, I'm out here in Vancouver for a few weeks and will be hoping to catch some salmon while I'm here. Having never fished for Pacific salmon, I made the rounds to the fly shops in the area to get an idea of which flies to use. Belows is a pic of some of the flies. The larger flies are for C...
