Ended up being a gorgeous day so decided to take a holiday and go fishing with my uncle.

Started off slow and the wind and current were not in our favour but after a couple of hours we landed a nice small one.

Shortly after my uncle hooked i to a decent one. During the fight the sturgeon jumped and hit our boat two times which was a first for me!

After a long battle we landed one of the thickest fish I have landed in this area and the fish was about 6 fr long.

Good times.

Stay tuned as I will be taking another day off tomorrow to fish somewhere local!

Weather fishing and fishing pressure was so good I decided to go fishing again. And take a buddy on his first trip.

Had some fresh roe bags and fished the usual spot. Within five minutes we were getting bites and but the end of the day we had hooked into 12 sturgeon.

Good times.

Was at a conference last weekend and went to Sooke to check out the rivers there but ended up fetting hit with the atmospheric river system so that didn’t work for river fishing.

This weekend was in Harrison and went with a buddy to try some chum and coho fishing.

Didn’t see any coho but managed to hook into a good number of chum. I was swinging flies while buddy was tossing spoons.

Fresh chum hit the spoon on a few occasions. and for me the flies that seemed to work were blue black, and chartreuse green Willy buggers.

Great day on the Harrison and kinda wishing we brought the sturgeon gear as the sturgeon fishing seemed to be on fire just around the corner from Kilby park.

Ended the day having dinner ar Sasquatch Park.

Managed to take a day off work and try out the new switch rod I bought in preparation for a Pyramid Lake and Truckee River trip coming up in November:

Although most rivers are closed to targeting chum we hit a local flow in search of coho. Although we didn’t get into any coho we did manage to land a bunch of chum as a by catch. Trust me I did not want to catch these big brutes on my 7wgt!

Nonetheless, the rod, reel and line feels good and I am now ready to hit Reno and try my luck at catching some big browns and Lahotan cutties which are the largest in the world.

Stay tuned.

Ended the trout season with one last trip to the Cariboo to a favourite lake.

Camping, flyfishing and even wine tasting.

Even though the lake was turning over we still managed to hook into a lot of fish.

Got to love the mop blob fly. Apparently this was the killer.

Well done boys and very creative.

Some nice fish caught by the Bcflytieguys.

Although the wind started off crazy this last weekend…looks like everything turned out great.

Epic four days in the Cariboo. Boobies and leeches were the ticket for me!

Although I haven’t gotten out as much as I would have liked due to work and life, I am looking forward to my November trip which I am planning on hitting Pyramid Lake in Reno Nevada with Cassidy. 2-3 days fishing the lake and one guided trip on the Truckee River. Stay tuned!

Hopefully between now and then I can get out and swing flies for salmon and tie into so more sturgeon!

Only the BC Flytieguys would find Steelies! So impressive to see these guys tsp into some beautiful BC fish! Well done boys!
