Snowmobiling And Fishing In The Upper Squamish...

What a great day it was today. I met up with Wes, and Clint, for the fishing, and snowmobiling adventure. I met them at clint's place and we headed out from there. We parked above high falls, and then cruised up on the snowmobiles to 27 mile. We fished through a couple of spots and we crossed the river, and went up river for a short distance. The sun was out and it was blue skies, for the whole day. It was great to be up in that area of the river, since I had not been able to because of all the snow. It was definately a great experience riding on a snowmobile, and driving it was a blast. It was so quiet up there, and not a single other person around. We saw lots of eagles. For most of the time we were out we enjoyed just being out in the great outdoors. It was great that we did that. it was great to go do that with new people. We didn't catch anything but I'm thinking that it wasn't the whole idea of this outing. It was to go out and have an awesome time, in the wilds of squamish. I like to find some fish, but if you, don't then that's the way it goes. It's all good. Better luck next time.!!!!!!

The Fishing Adventure Part 2..

Today I took John out on the river, to cast a few flies around to see if there were any fiesty dollies that would come out and play. We started off at 24 mile, and made our way to about 22 mile. It was a great day, the sun was out for awhile. We fished some nice water, I had a couple takes with one fish to the beach. I was surprised at how well John could cast a fly, since he had never done it before. I played the part of being the guide, fairly well John told me, and that I was a good teacher. It was great to be out on the river again, and it was also really great to have John, come along. Maybe next time we will have a little more action. It was a great day, to be out in the wilds of Squamish....

My Fishing Adventure With John.

Well it's Thursday afternoon, and i'm looking forward to playing the guide for a day. I've been looking forward to taking John, out on the river for a little flyfishing. We will meet up on Friday, morning and drive up to the upper Squamish, to about the powerhouse channel. We will either walk up to 24 mile, or we will go in at about high falls creek. Wherever we decide to start we will be fishing some really good water, where we should find a few dollies, and or some BIG bull trout. I have tied some new patterns that should catch fish. I'm hoping that the water temperature, isn't to cold because the fish will be active and more aggressive, when coming to the fly. I'm going to guide John for awhile, and hopefully he will catch a nice dolly, all on his own. All I'm going to do is show him where to cast. It will be alot of fun, hanging out on the river with John. I on the other hand have not been out for a month and I'm happy to be going out, to throw a fly around. More to come later.

The Snow Has Finally Stopped.

Well the weather has finally changed from snow to rain. I'm hoping to get out on the river, for at least one day, of serious fishing in after all this snow has been falling, making it difficult to get up to at least the power house channel. I'm feeling the urge after so many weeks not fishing. I have tied some new flies. I have been trying to come up with some shrimp, and prawn, patterns. I have one that I have called the coral and orange shrimp, tied intruder style. I'm hoping to hook up with a few monster bull trout, that would be great. For the time being I will keep on experimenting, at the fly tying table. I am hoping the steelhead, will show up in good numbers this season. If they're there i'll find one that's in the biting mood. I'm off to go fishing, see ya.!!!!!
