Try at a fishing shop that sells walleye gear. Check for something like a floating lindy rig.

Agreed, up until about a week ago I was pulling most of my fish out right were most people would have been standing... No indicator. Had a couple of really good days too. In fact I think the fish in heavily fished areas are probably put down by indicators but that could just be superstition.

I tend to think that the fish in the popular spots are a little bit smarter... Maybe they start to associate indicators and SJWs with the unpleasant feeling of a lip peircing and being held in the air... But one guy in a spot doesn't seem like much pressure. 10 guys covering the same water in a day (the poo hole for example) probably teaches the fish to be more careful. J5 over and out.

Boooooo

Hey Biff, what section of the bow did you get that chinook on Nice fish! Bow river brown in beautiful winter colours Some say cutt-bow, I say pure cuttie. little creek-big brown My best brown so far... we'll see what I get this winter thought.

Had a bit of time to fish yesterday, so I hit the bow in town... Long story short, late start, not much action, lost my haemostats, and dropped a small box of nymphes in the river (talk about bad luck eh?). Last cast of the day hooked in to this scrappy 16ish incher. Made me feel better

Wow, exciting. Well, at least your car is not too bad. Advice: don't use steering wheel locks. It takes about 2 seconds to cut pieces out of the steering wheel and take them off (bolt cutters). Get one that applies the brake pedal. At least that way, they can't tow it very easily (some people steal cars with tow trucks).

So many favorites, but the best ones were salmon fishing on the sunshine coast. We used to go to this little cabin out there a couple times a year when the springs were around, and we would go to the gas station, get tonnes of gas, load up our live well with at least 50 herring and mooch live herring on the tide changes. I remember my first spring and thinking the thing was going to pull me in. It was about 25 pounds I was about 10 years old, so it was a big fish. Anyways most of the fish we caught were dog fish, and I remember one time I got a spring and he got dogfish (not a good thing mind you), and I felt sorry for him so I tried to cheer him up by telling him "Well, you got the biggest dogfish" Still funny today I always found the ocean to be fascinating. Sometimes we would see millions of jellyfish, or whales, or have seals steal our fish (I found that fun at the time). Great times. With all this money in the province, the government should build an ocean!

Anyone used any of the river otter pontoon boats? Are they safe on the bow? The look good and only weigh 32 pounds!
