Although i have fished before for brief moments, i never really got into it and am basically starting off fresh. My 9 year old daughter and I made a decision to learn together. I think she is learning quicker than me by reading, than I am by fishing. I have been hitting the Vedder, usually around Lickman, but have done more exploring than actual fishing. Also have tried the Fraser, but never seem to catch any fish. I caught one whitefish in the vedder, and thats it. I have been out plenty in the last couple weeks too. I have been reading lots and doing tons of internet research, which is how i came across this site. I bought myself a 10 ft. rod for Bar fishing on the Fraser. And been mostly using pink wool with a corkie. But no luck. Any tips someone can give up ? I have been floatfishing as I read bottom bouncing is considered taboo right now. I have never caught anything bigger than 1 pound I don't think. So I am trying to figure out what size hook to use and what bait or not at all ? How much wool, swivels, snaphooks, spinners and everything else is pretty new to me. I am hoping My daughter can hook into one of these pinks soon, before she gets discouraged as we keep getting skunked. As i head to the vedder , I usually get pretty discouraged and watch mostly , as I don't want to piss anyone off. I am not sure on what i am doing , nor exactly sure what to do or what the different salmon species look like. I bring and carry with me, the salmon supplement book, just in case I need to look up what i catch, and I have got a video from the library too. So I am trying. I guess I won't know til I catch something what it really looks like.
