I caught this salmon in the Vedder River using a double-hand rod, and it’s a great opportunity to do this and practice for the steelhead that will come to this river in the winter.

Today, I went fly fishing and tried several rivers, but either I couldn’t cross them or the water level was too low. In the end, I decided to fish a section of the Chilliwack River and managed to catch three coho salmon. One of them got away, I released the second one, and I kept the third one, which was a nice hatchery fish. Fly fishing in the beautiful Chilliwack River is truly a delight!

Today, I had the pleasure of landing a magnificent Chinook salmon, also known as a spring or king salmon in various regions. I caught it using the swing technique, which proved to be incredibly effective. What made the experience even more special was that I was fishing on the Vedder River, a spot known for its fantastic salmon runs. It’s always a thrill to target these powerful fish, and I’m excited to share this catch on my website!

This season, I used a double-hand rod with a swinging technique on the Vedder River in Chilliwack, British Columbia, and had great success catching steelhead. I started with a T8 tip, then switched to a T11, and finally a T14, adjusting to the conditions.

‏We went fly fishing for pink salmon at the Fraser River. The location was remote and peaceful, and we fished from a boat, which made the experience even more special. We used the flies that I previously demonstrated on YouTube, and it was a fantastic outing!

Recently, we had an incredible fly fishing experience on the Fraser River, where the pink salmon run was in full swing. We used an 8-weight fly rod, paired with a floating sink-tip line, and a 9-foot leader with a 10-pound test. Our go-to fly was a bead chartreuse pattern, and we found success with long casts and medium strips. We alternated between fishing from the shore and from the boat, and it was an absolutely fantastic outing!

This experience really highlighted the thrill of fly fishing for pink salmon, and we can’t wait to share more tips and stories with you!

Fishing for pink salmon in the Fraser River is always an exciting adventure, and I recently had a fantastic experience in the city of Mission. Using an 8-weight rod, I targeted pink salmon with great success.

For this trip, I used a floating line with a sink tip, a 9-foot leader, and a 10-pound tippet. The fly I chose was a chartreuse bead-head pattern, which proved to be irresistible to the fish.

The result? A successful outing with plenty of pink salmon in the net! If you’re planning a trip to the Fraser, this setup and technique might just do the trick for you too.

Today, I headed out to the Fraser River for some salmon fly fishing. I decided to use my own hand-tied flies, which added a special touch to the adventure. The spot I chose was right under the Mission Bridge, a place known for its great runs. The water was perfect, and the salmon were definitely biting! It was a fantastic day out on the river.

Last weekend, Ali, Shahrokh, and I went on an exciting saltwater fishing trip in the ocean. Shahrokh, who was visiting us from the US, was our special guest in Vancouver. We had an amazing time, catching a variety of salmon: three spring salmon, coho salmon, and pink salmon. We also witnessed some incredible whale sightings, including their spectacular leaps out of the water. It was truly a memorable adventure, and I can’t wait to share the photos and stories on my Instagram and blog!
