Just wondering how you guys cut you`re lead because i have been getting a hard time cutting lead.

Hit the west side of the river on 8:15. I will say not every many people out because it is Tuesday. My fishing buddy showed up about 8:45. I used chum jigs , the jig worked like magic. the second cast I landed the first one this year. It was a nice doe. I could see the float totally been...

Spool Keepers Made Easy an easy DIY!!! (mod wasn't sure where to put this because it is actually salt and fresh related) I recently saw this info on another site and appreciated the cool idea. With the posters permission, I wanted to share this idea for keeping your mainline and leader spools...

I've been using spoons and crocs the last little while and have been questioning my set up. I've been attaching a swivel at the end my 15lb test then a 10lb lead with the spoon or croc on it. Is it even worth attaching the 10lb leader or would I be safe just using the main line? and would...

I've been practicing my knot tying for a few days now and finally getting past the quitting stage!! My eye sight ain't what it once was. :( The one knot I find easiest to do is the Duncan Loop/Uni-Knot. I would like to know if it's a acceptable knot to tie tippet to leader? If it's used for fly...

so finally i decided to get out and fish when my rod has been collecting dust for a long time. It was stupid of me to not bother to get new lines etc, cause i have no idea how long 2 years storage shelf will last. Apparently the big problem for me today was LOSING my hooks, i was tying them...

Generally, I run cut plug herring, but am going to give anchovies a whirl. How do you chovy guys run them? I was advised to buy some helmets, but a far as the hooks go...Just the same as cut plug herring? With herring, I run a 4/0 and 3/0 and about a 5' 25# leader. If some of you wouldn't...

What kind of leader line do you guys use during the river salmon season? What brand and what variety? What are the benefits to this kind of line, and why do you prefer it?

I arrived at the river just before 7:00. There were a few fish around, I caught one chum (buck) not in good shape so back in the water. Hooked into one more but leader broke off. I was alone on the river except for a heron for about 1 1/2 hours. The fog was rolling around but the sun...

Was out at the mouth of the Cap today, dropped the crab and prawn traps early and was fishing by 8:00AM. Had two or three hits, and then right at the marker I got smacked by this 20lb-er. The boats were pretty thick in there, so I punched the throttle and headed out to the shipping lane...

Hit the river with the buddy Sun.Started in the lower,saw some coho and some spring-jacks rolling.No action except someone releasing a foul-hook and my float taking a dip with nothing on the hook-set.Moved to the upper and found some action as soon as we arrived.Saw someone land a coho on a...

So I had canceled all my plans to go fishing today, told 2 people I was not going...had things to do at home. But...I couldn't sleep, body woke me up around 4:30 this morning and felt wide awake. Said to myself screw it I'm going, yanked some roe out of the freezer and packed up my vest and...

Hey guys, I've been out on the North Thompson, in a few different spots but cant seem to get any luck, I've been bottom bouncing with a 5-12 foot leader with green red or white wool but cant seem to get into any. There are lots of fish about but I cant seem to get any, any tricks I should know...

Was out with my son visiting grandpa in Nazko, and decide to try our luck on Marmot Lake. The sun was shining brightly, a slight ripple across the water from a nice breeze and fish showing all along the rushes and plant life, to about 20 or 30 ft out. My 6 yr old son went with the traditional...

Have had the coho itch for the last week brought on by the bits of rain that fell and the odd report of fish.Went out this morning to check a piece of water that caught my attention on an exploratory trip last weekend.A couple of other fishers were around,seemed pretty quiet.Tossed a colorado...

I recently came across this video, and got interested in fly fishing the mouth of the Adams with an egg pattern for rainbows. I am wondering though, when using egg patterns, if you should use an indicator on a 9ft leader and floating line or use it without an indicator. It would also be...
