Let me break the ice.
What amazes me is we have this type of nature right in our back yard of a major city & cities. Also the river has the cleanest water by world standards.
Guys like Chris & many others remind us we must not lower our standards...pollution garbage...
Homeless camps should not exist anywhere's close to this river.
People do their you know what....( what goes in must come out )
Look at those fish in crystal clear water. Priceless.
Maple Ridge also has homeless camp stories weekly on tv news.
There is a church group that purchased an old hospital with my guess 7-8 stories if not even higher.
Dream Centre in LA. They house the homeless, showers,hair cuts, food,shelter, & give them treatment,training ...
When openned the whole area had a 75% crime drop.
Too bad St Paul's downtown did not take the Dream Centre concept. Any homeless in the LML could be taken there. It could hold 1000 or more so these homeless camps with all the garbage build up would be no more. Bet fishermen/ladies windows smashed would drop a lot along the river.
But gov. will keep pouring money in various holes & problems will just keep increasing.
Ambulances racing hourly to overdoses..police going to homeless camps...firemen...city wkrs...
Let's keep those waters crystal clear & clean.

So... How about that video eh? LOL!
300 words of talking about everything except the video. ::)
Awesome vid btw!

When was the last time ya had a good BM?
It's not a sin to expand what I saw on the vid is it?
After so many views & no replies.
A pic is worth 1000 words...a vid is a million words I guess.
Did ya see the clean water?
Did ya see the fish?
This river in our back yard...
Sadly garbage pollution & yes homeless camps can have a big big effect on the beauty of this river.
Why the negativity ? Maybe your a negative person or just a smart _ _ _ my friend ?
Anyways your reply is so short ...at least you could of wrote 200 word post on the vid if you want to point fingers. ;D

This river in our back yard...
Are you sure?

Are you sure?
Just wish my backyard was on this river ( with nice pools ) & good solid flood wall midway the property.
Imagine awaking & having a good hot coffee & ( sunny am ) picking up your rod & start casting to one's heart delight.
-
Awesome vid btw!
Thanks! ;D
-
Thanks! ;D
Yes agree...
Sadly though saw a turd in the current at one point of footage :o
Chris keep up the pressure to keep BC "Supernatural BC"
Clean wilderness clean water...like to see the day we can dip our glass in the Brunette R & have a cool refreshing swig of water to quench our thirst!
You first & if your still alive after 10 minutes I'll drop my glass in too. ;D
Yes this river in our backyard of a major world city needs to stay clean & with the many returning fish.
Homeless camps should be against the law to be anywhere close to it. It's just a start of lowering our standards. What's next?
In 50 yrs are we going to see a nice vid like this one? New Video: Steelhead.

I don't think this is the river you think it is....

You saw a turd in the video? ok

Maybe it was a dark stick.
bobby b "can have" ...so as is now it's a clean river but in future ????
Unless we keep our standards high.

So everyone else.... how about that steelhead...? 🙄
Nice capture btw everyday

Great team work, seamless editing 8). Good job everyone!!!

If you guys start a go fundme page I will ensure that by May 1 there will be no homeless camps on this river. It shouldn’t take more than $30 or $40 grand and I will take all responsibility for making sure that all campers and belongings are removed.
“Homeless camps should be against the law to be anywhere close to it. It's just a start of lowering our standards. What's next? ”
I guess your version of Jesus would embrace your love of your fellow man? You and Mother Teresa and Damien de Veuster may have been separated at birth.
I will be on that river next week so I will be able to survey the extensive damage caused by the homeless and initiate the removal of the offenders, after a bit of fishing and turd removal.

That was my Oh Henry bar that slipped out of my hand just upstream.
Steelhead are easy peasy.
Just one cast and fish-on.
Thanks again Rod and crew.

Must be a full moon ;D
There is a famous limbless evangelist from Australia. He has no arms/legs but he has been an inspiration to millions & millions. Very physically handicapped even suicidal at 9-10 yrs old but.....
He decided to be a man. His story on 60 minutes tv show ...etc...
He truly surprised everyone & even Christians when he revealed what he encountered in San Francisco.
Check it out: Limbless evangelist sees demon. (Google search engine)
Gord J you remind me of the some students laughing in the classroom & suddenly the teacher comes in the room & gives out a 10 question test exam.
The wise students were prepared & the unwise got a score of 0-10. F as in fail.
Your laughing now but one day you will meet your Maker.
Why does Chris have these river clean ups? Because he knows garbage will harm the ecosystems & if attention is not brought up on the subject & info the garbage will only get worst & worst ..& what is dumped will be more toxic..demolition waste fridges tv s on & on...
As far as the homeless my point was & is there should be a major big building like the Dream Centre model in LA which I mentioned in a prior post.
Oh there's a psychiatrist Dr Richard Gallagher who was taught at Yale.
He now has a practise & is a respected doctor by his peers & patients...Dr Gallagher is also a prof. at Columbia University. He is gone on record to say he has had patients who did not have a mental illness but their problem was demonic. Since you brought up Jesus in your mocking comments allow me to tell the whole story. Battle between good & evil.
Ya come to think of it ..it resembled an Oh Henry Bar.
(Gord maybe one day you will be a believer ;D I mean if Evel Knievel / Alice Cooper / Brian Welch Korn metal band /Barry Mayson former hell angel chapter leader & 1000s other vids I could type out...there's hope for you. )

While I completely understand your idea and commend your initiative to bring awareness to a increasing problem near urban streams, I don’t quite agree with it. The homeless problem along urban streams seems to be a NIMBY effort by communities to push people to the most convenient location. Nobody wants them loitering around business centres or the suburbs, so leave them to take up camping in the woods. Only people that will complain then is those eternally frustrated sports anglers.
It’s purely demographics that there is going to be a percentage of the population that ends up homeless due to all kinds of reasons (mental health, substance abuse, etc) It appears today that there is less and less taxpayer funded help for these people and programs that try and help are the first ones to get cut (after fisheries management of course).
Cleanups and eradication of homeless camps are bandaids, no disrespect to the people that partake in them. They don’t help the underlying problems. Case in point, the old prison grounds on the Vedder, every year that place gets destroyed by campers and every year the same good souls go up and clean that filth. Free roadside camp spots with zero services are a dream to young people looking for a bush party. Could something be done to alleviate those issues? Maybe an outhouse, waste collection bins, patrols by the regional district? Nope, same old same old, one guy destroys it and the next guy cleans it up.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure......
-
GordJ, do you feel a bit relieved now? There's hope for you apparently. lol...
Is this thread a case of good vs evil?
We should have a competition to see who can get A to write a longer reply.

God, demon, turd, homelessness?
It's just a steelhead video. ::)

well said !!! Good pts & how true.
As ya stated less tax $$ being spent on the problem so the homeless put up camps/tent cities & the people living nearby do not feel comfortable. If homeless camps were 1 block from politican's homes then action would be taken quickly.
Yes the answer is to have a big centre funded well to help out these downcast people. Address their issues. Say a big centre that could feed shelter drug rehabs ...possibly on the Essondale grounds...
Every homeless person from Vancouver to Hope could be helped.
Having camps on the river only disrespects nature / environment & with this only comes more disrespect thus more people start dumping their garbage ...
Have to get it in people's minds it's taboo to pollute Supernatural BC !!!
Ya Rod I know what to buy big fish & GordJ for Christ mas. 2 nice sticks to stir the turds. ;D
( poo stirrers ;D ) They get trend off subject.
Me not guilty... ::) me no understand English.
But ya this river must be respected & not lower our standards because in the next 50 yrs will we see a vid like this one ?
Let's face it development will get more & more...
-

Wow

I have no idea what you're trying to say there.
Sometimes saying less, or nothing, is better.

Hint ...read my 2nd post on page 1 & just maybe you will get my "drift".
Happy Easter to Rodney big fish & GordJ.
Love God Love People & love your "enemies"

Great video Rodney, I enjoyed it.

No I have no idea what you're talking about. Me no understand English? You do realize what my background is right...?
BTW please don't keep bringing God into this. While we are all very happy to hear that you've overcome your past struggles and found something to reassure yourself, not everyone shares the same beliefs. Quite frankly it's pretty irritating to read or hear about it.
-

Thanks! More to come from this particular project.

As far as your background is...??? Your Chinese that is obvious.
That remark was to wonder how straight forward my first reply was on this trend was but somehow a person had to find something negative to say about it. It snowballed from there with 2 other members adding in their negativity.
As far as Christianity goes it was only brought in after GordJ brought it up in his mocking.
As the world turns....
As far as the discussion area of FWR I'll bar myself from it.
You revealed where you stand & true to yourself.
I'm true to myself. We agree to disagree.
EDIT IN: I may ban myself from Discussion Forum but...will read topics within & view vids ;)
Good info & contribution by many members here. :)
EDIT IN: #2 as for all of you thinking I do not care about homeless/people ...
You are plainly assuming ;D my friend U Me ...yep when ya assume you make an my friend out of you & me.
It's true Christians ( sincere ones in the faith ) that are behind World Vision...The 700 Club has a branch that cares for the young kids..orphanages all over the world ..( Operation Blessing ) there's other Christian groups building water wells all over the world...yes so families do not have to drink dirty water..
Gospel Missions are downtown helping shelter & feed...
My point is a big centre should be built to help all the homeless from Vancouver to Hope so no homeless camps need to exist.
If a homeless camp existed next to any FWR member ( will not mention names ) they would scream I am positive of that...that a centre be built !!!!
Lastly I give $$$ that in part also helps the homeless ...
Over $1000 yearly so ...anything else to say about bad oh me ??? Not caring ...
God bless all of you yahoos anyways ;D
-
Another great video Rod , beautiful fish , well edited , nice release......
Keep em coming , enjoy them all......don’t ever let the odd ‘turd’ reply every slow down your video posts’
-
Thanks Flybob! Don't worry, the videos will keep on coming. ;)
-

Taiwanese, I thought. The Chinese would say "same thing"; the Taiwanese not so much! :)
I didn't see GordJ as mocking. He was just pointing out the incongruence of your being a Christ-follower and the seeming lack of compassion or mercy for homeless folks. It was a fair comment, I thought.
And, even if he was mocking, I wouldn't get too hung up over it. God doesn't need defending on fishing websites.
Hold it, there was a steelhead video...? :) I loved overhead view of the float plunging, the hookset, the fish twisting, the jump, and the run. Cool.
-
Go fishing already......
-
Everyone shut up and go fishing! The weather is nice and it’s a long weekend! Lol
-
Another great video Rod.
As for A__hat-boater...
All of the cities and towns along our beautiful waterways and shores in this province and across north america were started by the homeless.
The ORIGINAL (FN) land holders are still not impressed.
Just say'n

Plus another $1000 in other donations... I'm not Jim Pattison but I do try to do my part.
God bless all of you finger pointers yahoos anyways ;D
EDIT IN: #3 big fish nice of ya to say. But no we are only forgiven. Forgiven people stay humble as it's a gift. We did not earn it.

Yes A-boat, Christians are God’s gift to mankind and planet earth 🤣

That's right, we are the bad guys. ;D

Good suggestion! This was the only fish to hand today.

The killer part was coming across a large number of cutthroat that were crashing in a small piece of water where I was fishing. I think they were feeding on mayflies, but all I had were streamers and small spoons, and they were completely disinterested. That won't happen again!
