Looking to try salmon (coho and pinks) fishing on the fly from the shore along the eastern side of Vancouver island this year. If anyone has any info on when, where, how and what to use it would be greatly appreciated. PM me if you wish.
Can this still be fairly productive method to catch some fresh salmon before they enter the rivers. Is this a year for pinks on the island?
From what i have read on this site and in several books it is worth it to try along the flat beaches composed of baseball sized rocks that exist up and down the shore from several of the creeks and rivers within the mid island area. Right now I am thinking around nile creek and oyster river.
I have an eight weight fly rod with the rio versi tips but may buy a full sinking intermediate clear line to go with it. I am not sure of the name of the flies to use but generally they are all tied very sparse in greens, blues, pinks and silver. Any info on presentation techniques?
When do the fish start to show up? are there any fishing tackle shops up in that area that might be able to help?
Thanks in advance!
