Thanks for the links Brian!

I'll be venturing in Eastern BC too... do you recommend anywhere? streams/lakes? Not sure I'll have my waders with me..

Hey guys,

I might be heading to Vancouver for a few days in a couple weeks.. I never fly fished out there before ... I would like to find a lake (or two) that I could hike to (get some exercise) and do a bit of fly fishing... If anyone can suggest anything, I'd appreciate it..

Thanks!
Akira

So I've read all of the Algonquin/Opeongo threads on this site and I'm now armed with some useful info for our trip, but I'm wondering if there's any more wisdom the pro's don't mind sharing.... We're going in at access point 11 Lake Opeongo, and paddling to the north arm. 6 Kayaks, 1 canoe. Most a...

Akira, I used to have a probelm with my fins pinching as well but eliminated the problem by drilling a couple of holes in the bottom (at the toe section). Without the holes your feet wedge deep into the foot pocket, but the negative pressure inside the pocket prevents your foot from slipping out. B...

ah... should of done a search.. thanks Fiish... Guess they aren't the best fins... I thought the flip idea was pretty useful though...

Has anyone tried these types of flip-fins? I'm looking at replacing my crappy diving fins that I use because they pinch the hell out of my feet and make it uncomfortable in the water after a few hours... The flip-fins look interesting as you can walk in them ! :) http://www.flipfins.com/index.php?pa...

Thanks Wongrs! That is a pretty cool clip...

Can anyone recommend a good not too expensive ultralight reel for my 2wt rod? I've been using my Orvis Clearwater III that came with my Orvis fly fishing starter kit for a couple years now, but I'm not sure if it is the right match for the 2wt rod..

I really need to start learning to tie my own flies..

Brian, the fishing may be disappointing but I bet you are enjoying the food over there Are you ever coming back to Canada, or are you pretty much settling in over there?

Hey Akira. A hare's ear nymph or baetis nymph will pretty much match what you've pictured. I'm not sure how big the bugs are in the picture, but you should have a variety of sizes from #12 down to #18 to cover most situations. Sinking line isn't necessary to fish these patterns and you can use foat...

Hey fly fishers... Still learning lots about fly fishing and all... I need some help to try to identify what kind of larvae/fly pattern would match the image below... Can anyone recognize it, and if so what is it? How do you fish this kind of pattern? sinking line? http://www.fish-hawk.net/photogall...

no carp sashimi for you yet eh Brian?

What you living on if you aren't catchin

Hey Akira, Were've you been hiding? I haven't seen you in a dog's age...the mochii festival last winter, maybe? When areyou coming to Japan? Give me a shout if you're out this way and we'll see if we can't land some of those carp. I think it was mochii fest last year, yeah.. it's been a while. I ho...

cool report Brian!

I will be over there in the future .. I may have to stop in thru Yokohama for a fish
