The time has come for me to venture out on the river on my own and do some bushwhacking...I can't take the usual trolls anymore and I enjoy the hiking and exploring part of it...I got bear spray and a wading staff so should be covered if I have to doing any crossings etc. I like fishing with others but don't fish with anyone who's willing to hike.
I guess the time comes when a few of you have been in the same situation? Any spots to avoid?..Am looking for some Nirvana I guess, a place with room to work a fly line and fish would help!!!....Obviously with the river this low it should be fairly easy to do, when she gets moving, might be a different story...
Am especially interested in Mid and upper river..and on the other side of the upper. Just worried about break in's over there as I've heard they are bad??? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated...Won't give out anyones secret spots, Promise!!! 8)

Sometimes I would love to, but I always wind up going out with someone. Other times I just don't tell anyone I am going out!! :-* ;D
-
;D I like both, sometimes I feel going by myself other times I like fishing with freinds
-
Fishing by yourself kinda seems boring specially if you get skunked! lol
-
I always fish alone, just because I know nobody in BC that is ready to wake up at 4h and to bush-walk all morning to find nice spots... I will never understand people who do not like fishing.. ::).
-
I like to fish with other people whenever I can. Unfortunatly, every once in a while I'm still forced to go out by myself. I've gone on some massive bushwacks on my own but I always wear my wading belt, carry a cell phone and other provisional supplies. I also have a life jacket that I wear on days that I know I'll be doing some crossings.

My first fishing companion was an Airdale terrier. Would fish with people as well. When the dog died and I had to go it alone quite often do to bizarre work schedules. Still fish with two legged and four legged friends, depending on schedules.
-
Depends where i go. I like fishing with one buddy, maybe two. Any more than that is crowded. But not finding a partner has never stopped me.

I'm actually a fun loving brunette, looking for a fishing partner. Before I had to pose as a guy so that I could feel you guys out without getting hundreds of emails from guys hitting on me. But now the cats out of the bag. :-*
Or it could just be that I've been too lazy to change it from before when we were just putting up pics of pretty girls because they were better to look at than partially dressed men.

I dont really enjoy gear fishing alone. I do love to throw a fly alone however. Fly fishing is more of an art and kind of soothing and peaceful to me. I was throwing the fly today in a couple rivers. I caught a ton of chum and one coho, all released.

if you like to walk and wade , explore the chehalis is the place to go. this is where you find the true angler and conservationist. for the most part the anglers here care and protect all the salmon species. ive fished the chehalis since 1988,and i cant get enough of it, walk up into the canyon, very peacful, most of the anglers are friendly, and LOTS OF HOS. get there early , because alot of the spots can only fish six guys, thats why a person comes to know alot of the anglers that have been going there for years. i look forward going there every year and seeing the same faces and fishing with the guys that make the days enjoyable

more than eighty percent of the time i fish alone. not always by choice as much as my work schedule varies.
i do alot of bushwacking so i usually have to travel heavy. i bring extra gear, first aid, bear spray, bottled water, dry vac food, hardware, wading stick and of course two or three heavy duty hunting knives.
when i can find a brand of pfd that i like, i will add that to my list.

Fishing alone sucks for me.. I either like going with a friend or with my dad :)
-
I did it a lot last winter...I don't mind it except when you start hearing rustling in the bushes and noticed bear scat on the way in...that said, I'd always prefer going with someone for the most part....Winter is different though cause the leaves are gone and you can see farther into the bush..It creeps me out with all the leaves still on and you can feel the hair on the back of your neck stand up... :D
-
I love fishing alone, it's the only place I can truely be in the zone and at one with my thoughts... Having that personal space and alone time is a true gift.
If I am not alone, I am usually with my boyfriend, as he adds something joyous and positive to my experience, a true pleasure to have around!
If you ever see me out on the river though, call out my name and I'll happly talk, but let me know who you are and from which forum, I know and have met alot of people via various forums and can get confused sometimes :D
Cheers,
Nicole

I like going with someone too when I see bear spoor. That way when I run away, the other guy can be the distraction! ;D
Seriously though, I'm so used to going out alone that it doesn't bother me one way or the other. I like company too and it's always nice to share the ride home with a buddy or meet up with a few friends on the flow.
-
Either alone or with a friend that doesnt talk much ;D
-
I usually fish with searun and bigcreyfish(bigsteel). But one of them sure talks to much(not searun but the other). Sure makes it difficult to enjoy a nice peacefull day sometimes. I have now loaded up the mp3 player for those days ;D ;D ;D . Searun and i have been fishing together for just over 6 years and bigcreyfish for about 3.

for years i fished mostly by myself and enjoyed the solitude and peace on the rivers,from time to time i would take someone new to fishing out and show them some tips and i really enjoyed that.For The last several years my two fishing partners are fly guy and big steel and we get along real well,for the most part i don't enjoy going fishing with big groups of people,1 or two guys is more than enough as long as we are all on the same page all is good.
-
Yeah I have a blast with you guys, but all three of us haven't made it out together for a long time now!! We just may have to rectify that this weekend!! ;)
