……. better late than never

……. see ya in 2011 folks!

Well it’s been a hell of a year and what better way to wind it up than a boxing day ice fishing trip with family & friends!

Genna with a PIG of a boxing day rainbow trout!

So after a quick check of the weather and the solunar tables we packed up the gear, bundled up the kids and headed for the hills! The tables indicated a major feed in the wee hours of the morning but that was just too early for the kids so we resisted rushing to meet the major and targeted the minor feed – a comfortable 12 noonish!

When we finally arrived at the lake we were surprised to find that we were the only ones there.  A bit worried that perhaps the bite was off we set up anyway to test out the situation for ourselves. Fifteen minutes  later and ……. nothing. A half hour later and ……. still nothing. And then, just as we were about ready to pull out the gear and relocate to a different area of the lake, ……. you’ve got to hear the rest of this story!

Then out of the blue when I least expect it.. Wham I’m fishing.

Just back from Mexico where we made a little time to do some fishing! This is the story of a quick trip just before sunset with our good friend Tito and our new friend Capitán Cocol on-board the Lancha Verano. We were in Barra de Navidad and fishing just off some rocks about 1 km out from shore. Photo’s by the lovely Beverly!

Justin's Fall 2010 Kamloops Rainbow Trout!

Thought I’d post this one up for my buds son who caught this monster Kamloops Rainbow trout on a fly rod just last week!!!

Yup, while the rest of us have been tromping around the bush looking for Bullwinkle and Bambi’s dad, Justin and his Pops have been taking advantage of some of the the best fly fishing time in the Interior of British Columbia!

Fall is the time of year when the big bows really get aggressive in their feeding while trying to fatten up for the coming winter.

Floating and intermediate lines really shine this time of year as from now till ice on you can usually find the big boys gorging in the shallows on staples like shrimp, leeches, dragonfly nymphs and damsel nymphs. And if your really lucky, you may even hit a water boatman “rain” storm where you can strap on a full sink and a floating imitation and go to town!

Congrats and good work Justin!Keep it up and you’ll soon be teaching your Dad a few things!

Well with everyone talking hunting now I thought I would break out of the mold and try to get some more fishing in before the ice hits. So I packed up my gear and headed up to one of my favourite BC Interior lakes with high hopes of FAT feisty rainbows!

My Mid October Fatso Rainbow Trout!

(more…)

The weather for the month of September was awful, raining lots and the last week saw winds of 40-70 km. Not exactly good fall fishing conditions especially for the lake I was trying to get on. Finally a window of opportunity opened and I headed out to base camp ( Steve’s cabin) Thursday night after work.  Was this going to be the fall fly fishing opportunity that I had been waiting for? Read on to find out!
