Protac neoprene waders. Used 3 seasons. No tears or current leaks (had a puncture from a hook on back of thigh that was repaired). Size I think was medium (I'm 5'8", 180 but it is a little long in the leg, probably fits to 5'11") Please make an offer and thanks for looking. Photos on Used...

Anyone know when Chum open for retention on the Cowichan river? Cheers, Alex

I'm almost afraid to ask how things are on the Puntledge this early since other areas have been having poor returns ... but I'll ask anyway. Also, has the access to Condensory bridge area been screwed by the condo development? Cheers, Alex

Is it too early to plan a trip for the Aug 25th opening? We haven't had any rain so I wondered if anyone had been up to the lake. Or heard if fish are showing at the hatchery. If so, should I plan to fish near the hatchery or should I start at Parker Ck and hike downstream? Cheers, Alex

I had to share this treasure I found listed on Ebay, listed as the "World's most dangerous fishing rod". I can't imagine anyone actually using one. http://cgi.ebay.ca/Worlds-most-dangerous-fishing-rod-Glo-Lure-GUNCASTER_W0QQitemZ150003516745QQihZ005QQcategoryZ793QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem...

Greetings All, I remember reading somewhere that when salmon are spawning, Hallies have been known to come right up into the estuaries of some rivers to gorge on the salmon carcasses as they flow out of the river. Anybody heard of this? If so, any VI rivers have the estuary structure...

Just curious as I want to pick up a trap I can hurl off a dock and retrieve without the use of a boat. I've seen two small designs/types: - pyramid shaped with sides that open up on the bottom - Cube shaped with sides that open up on the bottom These seem so cheap that I wonder if they...

Greetings all, I remember reading somewhere about using two plugs in tandem when trolling for Chinook. A smaller one in front being "chased" by a larger one 6" below. Only the trailer plug has a hook or hooks on it. Anyone have any feedback on this method? Cheers, Alex ... "high...

I will be on the mainland for a change this weekend and need to choose between these two for some Saturday fishing. Its been a couple of years since I've fished the Vedder (too busy fishing on the Island) but I managed the Chehalis last year mid-Nov. Which (if any) is a better choice right...

Just wondering what the fishing is like in the Indian River (at the head of Indian Arm on the mainland). - Are there significant Salmon runs? - The regs indicate "no fishing for Chinook" but are there runs of other species? - Where is the tidal boundary for this river? Is it marked by...

This time of year, which river is a better bet for brighter fish? Vedder or Chehalis? Looking for both Chum and Coho. Go figure, my family prefers the taste of Chum over Coho ... must be an eastern block thing. Cheers, Alex ... "high water" is when you can fish from your car.

I just drove past the Gorge bridge today (Saturday morning) and there were no jiggers? Are the herring gone? When did they leave? Just curious, Alex ... "high water" is when you can fish from your car.

Greetings, Now that I'm FINALLY found the time to make my first pitiful showing at the Gorge bridge to grab some herring, I've got to ask the size question. It seems that the herring I've caught (... all three of them, ha ha) are larger than I would use for Salmon; 8-9" long. Should I plug...

Just curious about how best to store the herring I plan to catch this year. I know there are about a million ways to prep roe, any thoughts on herring? ... milk and salt? Alex

Greetings, I will be heading over to Cheewat and Weeks lakes this weekend and wondered what you guys have found to work. I plan to use a few sizes of buggers and some blood worms on a sinking line. Any idea on the typical size of the fish? (So I know what sizes of fly to key on) Cheers, Alex

I'm planning a trip for next Sunday now that Coho are open there. Anyone have any current info on the condition and quantity of victims, I mean Coho? Are there specific hotspots I should avoid due to crowds? I'll be fly chucking and my brother-in-law will be dragging wool. Thanks, Alex

Have the fish moved up to the river with the rains in the last week or so? Or should I still head down to the river mouth and fish the lake? I'm just trying to figure out whether to bring a boat or waders. Thanks, Alexievich

Greetings, I had an ... uhm "discussion" with a guy about the legality of bobbers with built in lights for river fishing. Any thoughts? I couldn't make out the regs on this. I understood that you could have a light source within 1m of your hook in salt water, but couldn't shine a light on the...

I will be travelling to the mainland this week and hope to take in a little (well hopefully not so little) Coho action on the Capilano. Where would I go to take in some late evening action? Recommendations? Any places/holes where a novice Fly fisher has some "room to cast"? And the last question...

Greetings, I'm new to beach fishing for salmon and was hoping to get some rules of thumb. I plan to fish at Beechey Head ... hopefully to find a willing Columbian. What tide is most productive? I've heard that early mornings are best as the fish are shallower. All advice is welcomed (...
