Hey Abby'....good to see you back.....we were missing you!.......Rib' is getting a lot of new handles these days, but THAT IS ONE OF THE BEST!!.........Ortho 8)
I came up with that nickname at the end of a long day of steelheading. You know how sometimes you start to get delerious at the end of the day . We laughed for quite awhile about that one ;D ;D. Lets try to make sure this one sticks for a bit. ;D
It was a great day Ortho, we did a little much needed tinkerin with the tubs,sat back
and enjoyed the day. No dino's .... .........We tried hooligans just downsteam from the
Stav and again just downsteam from the Albion ferry........ it was nice not doing our
usual marathon for a change...... ...............Marko..... ;D
Try Barfishing a big 00 chrome with red top spin n' glo...worked for me ;D couldn't believe it...8lb dolly this way....oh wait you said lower river sorry.....although I'm sure a spin n' glo with some roe or worms would work like a damn.
Sorry Elvis, despite my new nickname, I don't fish the fraser much, for dollies, or anything else for that matter...
You might pm Big Steel and ask him, he's had good success recently, I believe he was using steelhead roe on a barfishing setup...
But if I were going to fish them, I'd be using light weight casting gear, with big flashy spoons and/or spinners...but like I said, I don't fish the fraser, or at least haven't in about 10 years or more...
Drop Big Steel a line, I'm sure he could help you out...
If you are targeting on gear, in the smaller rivers,I would use hammered #3 colorado blades under a float with split shot. This is also a good set up for late winter steel. ...I would suggest the fly guys will likely have their own fry imitations to work with.....If you are fishing the Fraser, find a nice sandy bar with a constant slope and use a standard bar rig set up. Dew worms fresh roe or eggs, If you run into a lot of coarse fish just pack up and move a few yards. Don't fish too far from the shore. Most fish will be found close in where the food is. No long casts required.............Ortho 8)
When I fly fish for dollies (mostly bi-catch when I am fly fishing for cutties), I love to use egg patterns! Glo-Bugs, crystal eggs, and my favorite little contraption ;D others I like to try are rolled muddlers big and small, as well as attractors, and my fav most used fly FLASH FLIES!
