Great pics, Two-Hearted!

I have to show you guys this picture. It was at the Campbell River Chum Derby (Vancouver Island) British Columbia, this guy was a serious mental issue as you can see. He was there every year we attended for 5 years running - and acted more manic every year. Finally last year, the DFO charged him with Molestation of Fish.

Awesome pictures! We do actually have a few fish farms here on the coast that raise Atlantic Salmon and whenever there is a hole in the nets, they escape and some are caught by sportfishers although I have never found one yet. We do have a few rivers on Vancouver Island that hold Browns as well.

Here are some recent pics:

Flooded River - we were actually walking where the path USED to be!

A Day of Centrepinning for Steelhead

There is a trout farm close by that has a little issue with an otter that likes to chew the nets. When the fish escape, we flyfish for them and get a few back into the pens...

Centerpinning. I run 5" Raven Matrix pins. 13'6" Loomis rods. Those islander's are supposed to be sweet reels. I'm pinning in the am. I will post pix of any steel that are dumb enough to grab hold.

Pinning is quite an artform for steelheading around these parts. The Islanders are pretty expensive but worth their weight in gold in my opinion. A Raven Matrix you say.....very interesting! What do you run for lure/bait? If we haven't pumped any sandshrip off the beaches, we usually run an egg with white fluff.

I've never been one for fishing, and it's actually quite a shame as I think it could be quite nice to do. Maybe I'll buy a cheat rod and let her sink by the harbor here. Maybe I'll catch some quicksilver infused cod with three eyes and a leg.

my granddaddy wouldn't put bait on the line, 'cause he didn't want the fish interferring with his drinkin'.

It's a lovely story, though!

Problem with fishing is that those little basterds won't necessarily bite, so, growing older I decided to use a different approach: if the fish won't come up, then I'll go down and pay them a visit. Snorkelling with a harpoon gun, that's right.

a) you never want to be outsmarted by a lower life form

b) ever heard of noodling? it's like you said, except without the gun...and the snorkle.

Well it seems that Surreal has stood me up - he still hasn't posted his days fishing pictures after a week. Either he has fallen into the flow, been eaten by a landshark or probably got drunk and forgot. I am assuming he probably got drunk and didn't even go fishing.
