Don't forget that while the government face may have changed, the senior folks within the government are still the same...it will take a fair bit of pressure. Need to take them for a tour through McLean, Indian Graves, etc.
BC just closed most of the stream angling on the Island.. wish our government had the balls to do it. I'd paste the link but for some reason I can't do links on a PC?
Don't think you can beat the Litespeeds from Lamson. They're incredible little reels. Plus the Hard Alox coating is unbelievable at keeping it in tiptop shape. I'm brutally hard on gear, and my litespeeds still look (and perform) as new. I have them in trout, saltwater and steelhead sizes...can't be beat for the price.
I've seen 6 TFO rods (same model and apparent weight/height), and not one of them was the same. Guides misaligned and different heights. Just saying they're not my cup of tea.
Come on Marc. Backing into a river is doing a hell of a lot less impact than driving up a river. Just as fording a creek is ok, but ripping up it isn't..
20 degrees. Ya they can 'survive' at higher temps, but think about what happens to them while you're reeling them in. Hardly an ideal situation to be going through when you're already oxygen deprived.
Check with country pleasures, they have had them in the past.
Personally I wear the sandal and like it. Rocks suck when they get in but I found it more comfy
All those central creeks need to be watched closely. The temp is getting way up there and most guys aren't thinking about it. If it's warm, go look for pike or goldeye. Hopefully the opening on the 16th will provide a bit more water for everyone to play in
Guess I can't complain about TFOs replacement policy, but you sure do end up using it. I've broken a lot (read all of my rods at least once), but when I had TFOs they'd break constantly.
I've seen numerous guys ripping up the river there, as well as people loading trucks with rocks for their garden... Not sure what the city expected when there is free access along a gravel bar. Feels like bar fishing out west
