I am not a skilled river fisherman at all i ushually dont get a thing.
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
