Exploring And Fishing The Upper Cheakamus River.

I have been fishing the upper Cheakamus River, the past weekend. The fishing has been great. I fished the Rubble Creek area, and the fish action has been pretty steady. The trout in the river are not very big, but they definately come to the fly, with a vengance. I have been fishing, with my 3-4wt and my 5-wt, with floating lines and long leaders. The flies that I have been using are weighted nymph patterns, in olive, and dark green. It's fun to fish the river, with light gear. I am going to try dry flies, because it will be even more fun to see them come up and take the fly off the surface. I am having alot of fun fishing on the river, and catching all these smaller trout, because there's lots of them, and they fight well. I had no idea that the fishing was so good in the upper river. I have driven past it so many times, and never thought of fishing it until now. Maybe I'll get lucky and find a trophy in there somewhere. Time to get out there and cast those flies around and search the waters. Tight lines all the time!!!..
