Stand back, he bites: British fisherman grapples with ferocious 'giant piranha'... which has been known to eat CROCODILES By Richard James Last updated at 3:45 PM on 20th October 2010 British angler Jeremy Wade looks understandably anxious as he grapples with this ferocious-looking 'giant...

Purchased my first entry level mooching reel ( Daiwa M1 Plus) to see if what everyone was saying about them is true. When I ask fisherman how they like using mooching reels they all say its the only way to go. Thought I would give it a try and see if I get hooked. In addition to the Daiwa I...

i have droven by this lake alot and never see anyone fishing ther exept the winter time ice fishing. just wondering why this lake isnt popular amoung fisherman and what species are avaliable in this lake?

Hey there, I am a fairly experienced fisherman but haven't fished the Vedder / Harrison that much. I work for myself and would like to find someone who wants to head out / meet up for a day of fishing. I am available most weekdays and every second Sunday. If you want to go explore and hunt...

So, my Boss comes to me and says he'd like to take the employees out fishing. He has a boat (50+ ft), some fishing gear and a desire to fish, but no knowledge. I'm a fisherman of sorts (kind of new to salt with some experience) and he is hopeing i can make this whole employee fishing get...

Hello All, I just went fishing today on the Fraser River around Sapperton Landing off the shore for a few hours and caught nothing--even though salmon were jumping out of the water all around me. I was casting Gibbs Kit-a-mats, Crocs, and Fox spinners of various sizes, all to naught. Not even...

morning all! My friends and i are on our way to squamish on the 15th October to fish for Chum and maybe Coho (fingers crossed!) i just wondered if any of you local fisherman could offer any tips on flies etc........ i fished it the same time last year and was successful but obviously you can...

Not looking to be a smart ass here, just an honest question regarding the sockeye fishery. I was thinking today with such a long opening this year there must be a ton of fish being stacked into the freezers of many fisherman. i myself have been out 3 times with a total of 6 fish being put to...

I am interested in trying to find out if anyone can recommend any affordable !?? self guided fishing lodges or a place that you can rent a boat to fish around Vancouver Island. I like boat Charters, but they often don't take single fisherman and sometimes I wish I had more time on the water. I...

Hey guys, Long time lake fisherman and north Vancouver island salmon and hali guy, but never spent any time around the Fraser or local waters fishing for salmon. With the sockeye coming in, I'd love to get out, but simply don't know where to go. Have an 18' double eagle, so don't want to get...

I totally don’t know what I’m doing and would like some advise…. Help me! I am heading up to Shuswap Lake and would like to do some fishing, but I don’t have a bloody clue what I’m doing. I am not a fisherman. Usually I have a actual angler to set me up and tell me the rules and such. I have a...

A buddy and I will be doing a little tour at the end of next week between Merritt and Williams Lake area, we'll be hitting both lakes and rivers. I am typically a river fly fisherman, and haven't spent much time lake fishing. My 6 wt only has a floating line, do I need to pick up a 2nd spool...

I tried bottom bouncing for the first time last year on a trip to the upper fraser and now that sockeye are open look forward to getting out in the next couple of days. The guide that took us set us up with spinning reels but that was probably because everyone can use a spinning reel. I...

So I am a young fisherman on this forum, and I respect everything I've read, as well I like to give newer fishermen/women new ideas to catch some fish. After saying that, I speak without financial or extreme moral bias towards any of the directed fisheries. My problem is with the current...

Brand new to posting to the forum. Been browsing the site for a while and like what it has to offer! I'm a 26 y/o Kayak fisherman. Been fishing my whole life but have only been kayak fishing for just over a year and love it! Still have lots to learn and tinker with but getting better every...

Hi, been a long time fisherman for many years but have never considered myself hard core. It`s always just been about getting out there. I never really cared if I caught anything or not. I`ve fly fished and have jigged up a couple cod over the years but thats about it. I`m in my early forties...

Deceided to hit a local beach at first light in hope of a Coho on the fly but there was no sign of anything so i moved to another beach but this time using spinner gear there was only one other fisherman (local guy) there and he said it was dead with no fish showing as i was chating to him I see...

It was a fine day (Saturday, 07-31-10), and I was fishing with my buddies at Fraser River - Hope :thumbup: My excitement that day turned into fear and worries when one of the guy accidentally drop his sunglasses in the water, try to retrieve it, and almost cost his life when the strong current...
