Hi, there's no need for your SO to invest in new fishing gear for just a short month here.
Hit me up via PM and I can arrange for you guys to use my fishing gear, of which I have too much sitting idle. Some of my rods and reels could use a good dusting, LOL! We might need a few terminal tackle items, but that's about it.
Like mentioned above, pink salmon fishing is around the corner and I will be happy to point you to a couple of spots where he can enjoy his passion and you can soak in some sunshine and/or join in the fishing fun.
Does your darling fly-fish? In that case, a camping trip to a nice and productive interior lake is a must! If you have a fairly decent AWD or 4x4 vehicle, I can point you to some true gems in the interior (3-4-hour drives from Vancouver).
You are in the right place to ask for advice about anything fishing-related, so keep asking.
Cheers, Milo
