Enjoy Vancouver! Hit the Fraser River, Chilliwack area up to Hope. Or the Vedder Canal/Chilliwack River. Totally different fishing, you will need a heavier spin caster rod for the Chinook and Coho salmon.
Ya my brother lives in Chilliwack and September and October coho and chinook fishing is a blast . It gets busy but stay away from the gong shows and find a secluded spot on the river with a bit of exploring. Also its an odd year so the pinks be running in September I believe.
Thanks MTC. I've been watching some YT videos of the vedder/Chilliwack river coho fishing haha, looks fun. Hoping I can find some on the Capilano closer to me!
Thanks for your bow river videos. Great location reference and commentary. I've used your valleyridge location with similar success ( one fish in 2.5 hours), but its only a 15 minute drive, where as fish creek was 45 minutes. Sorry you had to relocate! All the best in the future.
Hey Paul! Thanks for letting me know it has been helpful for you! And that you got into a fish in the NW, that's tough to do 😉 It's Ok, there is plenty to explore here and I'll tell you a secret noone else knows yet... I bought an 8 weight rig today!!!!! Pressure is now on to figure out the Salmon game, which is a tier or two higher than the Bow River nymph game! Wish me luck!! And good luck with future Bow River monster browns 🙂
Just got into fly fishing, thanks so much for sharing your spots I cant wait to get in the water and learn! Sad you are moving away just when I found the channel. Hope the move goes smooth I will be continue to watch!
Hey Richard, thanks for joining the community and I appreciate you staying on for Vancouver! I really like sharing information so that others can get into fish, so good luck out there on the river!! Hope I can keep you entertained in BC, but message me in Instagram or email me if you have any questions about the Bow!
Thanks SF! I just checked out your channel and subbed as I like supporting local and you are very active and have lots of fishing content, well done!! Haha did you see those two goofs get wrecked on hot wings?
Sorry Nam! I'm bummer I didn't get to fully explore the Bow and all of the small streams and lakes around here... I was just learning how to catch fish regularly! I appreciate your support and I hope it's not too long before I get into a fish!
Great vid, and even greater fish!! I'll miss your videos of the bow river, and your videos of local fishing spots, but I cant wait to see what you you do in Vancouver! I'm glad I got to meet you in person when I did, cause who knows if I would ever have gotten another chance in the future haha. Good luck in Vancouver!
Hey Zham, thanks for your support! It was really nice to.meet you too and I hope you continue fishing and having fun here in Alberta. Take care of yourself and I hope we can keep in touch through the comments of future videos!
Excited for your new adventures. I think you'll love Vancouver. Quest for you first steelhead maybe?!?!?! Also glad you could get one more nice Bow River Brown before you head out.
Wow this is a nice spot after the run off! As always, you are always very kind in sharing good spots. Been following you since day 1 and will definitely be looking forward to your BC adventure series. All the best bud!
Hey Jan, this was before the runoff actually I think just as it was starting as the water was just a little high and off color. I really appreciate you having been here since Day 1 and I hope I can keep you entertained in BC! Thanks for your ongoing support and good luck this summer !! :)
Loved watching your learning curve on the bow since last year! Absolutely amazing to see how passionate and determined you were to have success on the bow despite getting skunked in the beginning! Too bad we couldn’t hit the bow together but you’re def a good example of an awesome local content creator. Tight lines man, hope Vancouver and the awesome fishing there treat ya well!
I really appreciate your words Ethan! I'm a stubborn guy that's for sure, and I'll stubbornly fish Vancouver until I figure something out 😋. Would have loved to fish with you too!
Damn. I will miss watching you fish around Calgary; but I am excited of the idea to see you catch monster steelheads and salmons. Enjoy your new adventure !
Haha thanks NC, was just figuring out the Bow River!! But yeah, I won't lie, I'm really excited for salmon and steelhead and sea-run cutthroats lol 😎🎣🐟
I want to wish you all the best on your new adventures. I started fly fishing when I was 40, so like 18 years ago. I started in the Ottawa Valley catching Bass. I recommend finding an area inland and hook a few bass as well. Might be interesting to start "X" ing off the different species you have caught and the ones you want to catch. Again, best of luck.
Thanks Jim, this is one of those hobbies where it doesn't matter how old you are, it will hook you in all the same! I haven't fished for bass since I was a kid in the eastern US on vacation. Maybe I'll use that idea of a fish checklist in my content moving forward! Hope it isn't too many skunks before the first fish! 🙂
Use to love fishing up at the Dam, there was some big bad ass fish hanging around up there. Lets get the Steelhead fishing going !! no Skunks Rosin, i want you doing Heli portable steelhead fishing on the Dean River and Skeena River with daily up dates.
Haha I need at least a dozen skunks in a row before catching fish, you know that!! Wish I had more time to explore the Bow. But daily Heli steelhead fishing the summit lakes of every mountain peak with two-a-day videos is only a fair trade 😎
ok I don't know what it is with me living in the north west (Royal Oak) and fishing there a lot but I never get fish, oh well it happens; I'll hopefully get some thing at this spot. nice brown (:
Great editing man, I'm proud to be a goof!! It was cool to see a new section of the bow, until you dropped the bomb and I realized it's the last new bow spot with you. 😢 On to new things though, and it sounds like their is a lot of opportunity there! Good luck with the move, hope everything goes well.
Good luck in Vancouver! Curious why you wear the nitrile gloves, for yourself or the fish? I've been wearing them lately due to developing a fish allergy. Certain species will give me hives if I touch them.
Hey David! It started for me to keep my hands warm and dry in winter. I've stopped using them now in Vancouver, I just got into a habit in Calgary :). But I do think they are as good as hands when wet for handling fish, I've never had slime on my wet gloves after handling trout!
I’ve watched several of your videos and whenever you hook a fish, you are constantly whipping your rod from right to left while playing it!…what is with that, why do you feel the need to do that? I have been flyfishing for 68 years and have never done this and have never seen anyone else do this in all those years. I get angry every time, which spoils an otherwise enjoyable watching experience. If you really care about the fish, then think about how this affects it, having its head whipped from side to side. My grandfather always taught me to visualize what is happening under the water while fishing and how your actions affect the fish and their reactions. Smooth and gentle and you will never lose a fish even using barbless hooks, which I have also used for 68 years. Good luck in Vancouver! So much more diversity in BC with regard to fishing, be sure to enjoy it all!
Hi John, first let me say that I appreciate the patience you are showing me. I can see how this would be very frustrating to observe and it's something I've been noticing more myself. I think the reason I started developing this habit was after reading about keeping the line tight and playing the fish in the opposite direction it is running in order to keep it on and in control. As I started employing the technique of applying opposite pressure to gain control I believe I developed this habit of very fast movements to immediately play every directional change, and I think it has gotten worse and more abrupt over time. I agree that it is important to think about what is happening to the fish and I haven't been doing that enough in all aspects of my fishing. I appreciate your comments and I think you hit home on something that I was perhaps subconsciously aware of but not conciously considerate of. Perhaps as a new fisher I have been more focused on landing the fish than how I landed the fish. Thank you for calling me out while being patient and supportive, I think that is a difficult thing to do! I'm looking forward to Vancouver, to the fishing diversity, and to continuing to improve my fishing skills and ethics. I know that the next fish and the fish after that as I play them on the line I will remember your words and work to improve. Thanks for keeping me honest John. Good luck fishing 🙂
@@RosinFlyFishing First, let me thank you for responding in a very positive way. When I was a very young child I was fortunate to have a grandfather who first of all instructed me in the art of fly fishing, but secondly and more importantly, introduced me to all aspects of observing and appreciating wildlife in the UK. His philosophy was that catching a fish was not necessarily the only objective of a day on the water. It doesn't matter if you don't catch, as long as you learned something! Sometimes, it was more exciting to sit and watch the trout and how they fed off the surface, or cruised sucking in nymphs off the bottom, and then apply that knowledge. When the be all and end all of catching a fish is not as important as you think it is, you relax, you learn and you find catching becomes much easier. I was well taught by a great man and I hope that by passing on this little piece of knowledge helps you in the same way it has helped me all my life. Tight lines!
Thanks John, I really appreciate your understanding. I find many people get triggered and defensive and don't recognize and appreciate constructive criticism (especially on the internet!), but I am very willing to self reflect and improve upon myself as I think that is an important part of life, and I thank you for your kind intervention today. You are very lucky to have had your grandfather as a strong mentor and instill these values and lessons, and I wish I had the same before starting my journey. I fell in love with fishing as a kid, but even then it was largely without supervision or instruction. I know this will make me a better and more conscientious angler and I hope you keep me honest as I continue this journey! I hope you are having a good fishing season in the UK and I hope we can continue to share stories and experiences in the future!! 🙂

I'll miss you guys. Take care of yourselves OK?
How many skunks will I get before first BC fish?? 😎
That was a great brown to finish off the legendary Bow river series.
Thanks Eric, I was happy to get one in this part of the river that is notoriously difficult
@@RosinFlyFishing that's awesome 😎
Nice to see you get out there by yourself. Beautiful fish and best of luck with the move. Of course we will keep watching!
Thanks guys, I wish you all the best in Alberta and I look forward to continue watching you grow on YT! 🙂
Enjoy Vancouver! Hit the Fraser River, Chilliwack area up to Hope. Or the Vedder Canal/Chilliwack River. Totally different fishing, you will need a heavier spin caster rod for the Chinook and Coho salmon.
Thanks Peter! I am *ambitiously* hoping to target some young Coho on Capilano river on my fly rod... We will see what happens!
