East Coast VI Beach Fishing
« on: September 05, 2004, 10:30:26 AM »

I was fishing along the mid East Coast VI Beaches the past couple of days. Lots of pinks around but not many biting. I did get one that was fair hooked on an orange fly. Landed a couple others that were foul hooked. I had lots of hook ups but lost them due to my leader being too light. I had forgotten to take my fishing bag with all my flies and leaders to the island so I wasn't really prepared. I had to whip up some quickie flies while I was there. Good thing I had my fly tying stuff.
Most of the fish that I saw landed were foul hooked.
Saw approximately 2 coho jumping but as of yet they really haven't arrived. Couple more weeks ought to do it. We are heading back at Thanksgiving to try our luck with the coho.

Leadbelly I was in Parksville form Wednesday to Saturday.  I fished twice at Nile Creek for Pinks and had about the same ratio of success as Willowbarkus.  ( I actually talked to her on the Beach  on thursday).  Everyone seems to be waiting for the COHO to come down form Campbell River in the next two weeks.  There are stories of Springs off    the mouth of the Qualicum but I didn't fish there so I don't know.  The pinks at Nile creek were getting a bit stale and not biting much.  I would check in with Gone Fishin in Nanaimo to see where the action is.  Good luck.
