Good Times In The Wild Squamish River Valley..




It all started a week before, when at work a new girl was hired from Germany.We started talking alot and then we were emailing back and forth every night for over a week. I asked her if she wanted to go fishing, with me and she jumped at the chance to do something that she had not done before. Flyfishing, that is. We met on a friday and headed out to get her a lisence, for one day. Then it was up to the Brew Pub, for dinner. She couldn't wait to get out for a fun filled day of fishing. We started at my favourite spot, mile 24. We fished the top of the run and pulled a nice Bull Trout, about 3lbs, on the first cast. I handed her the rod and she played it like a pro. Melanie, and I fished a few other spots, had a few more fish. I had a great day with her, and she had fun to.. Good company, good times...

On The River, With A Fun, Easy Going Australian!!!..


March 27, 2010, was a fun day. I was on my way to the Squamish Hostel,to pick up my fishing partner for the day. I met a nice Australian, girl at the Brew Pub, and we talked for awhile and made plans to go fishing. I did the usual and took her out to one of the school fields, for casting practice. After that we picked up a one day licence, for a day of flyfishing on the Squamish River. Liv, was super excited about getting out on the river. We lucked out and had a really warm day, not much rain. We had so much fun walking the river, and throwing cast after cast, in so many different spots. We didn't find any fish, but Liv had such a great time out there that it didn't matter that we didn't catch anything. She was happy to be out with me, doing something that she had never done before. It was funny because she couldn't bealieve how fun flyfishing, was and how she could walk in the water with a pair of waders on and that she wasn't cold, or wet. We finished the day at about 7pm, and enjoyed a cold beer on the river. She told me that she had a great time with me. I enjoyed her company, and just being out there with her, was alot of fun. Another fun river adventure!!...
