When the river is blown out I still fish as the fish are still there. They don't run back to the ocean to run the river again lol they stay in the river and continue their journey upstream.

Nice chanterelles. I took up picking last fall, not very successful I might add lol. Haven't gone out once this fall though, been spending my days off on the river. Altho I did pick up a couple a week ago while walking back to my car from a run
-
Ah yes, but I can't get to my favorite spot. white water is not good in a canyon.
Maybe I should be researching different fishing methods instead :P
At least i'll have lots of chanterelles to put in my turkey stuffing 8)

If you have a free weekend go up to Sloquet hot springs, between Harrison lake and Pemberton.
There is tonnes up there now, and there may be some coho and steelhead showing up in the sloquet creek :D
I caught a really nice cutty in there this summer.

My favorite river is 95% canyon and I've never had a problem finding fish still, the fish will move as the water level changes I'm sure you know. So maybe your favorite low water spot won't hold fish during high water like right now. So it might be necessary to have a favorite low water and a favorite high water spot. My favorite spot is reachable at any level as I have put in the time and bush wacking time to be sure access is available for me if I want it, however I don't actually fish my favorite spot much. I usually hop around in other pools "hunting" for the fish rather than just going to where I know they already will be. That is how you challenge yourself as an angler and increase your skills and level of ability.

The "honey do list" is always a good thing to take care of on those non fishing, non working days, that's for sure !!

Water high? Fish in tight....Geez am I dealing with newbies here? ;) ;) ;D ;D
-
Please explain.
The water is going sooooo fast my fly doesn't go down farther than a few inches.
And that's in the slow side sections.
I'm lucky, blow conditions usually subside over night where I fish. But it would be good to know for next time.

What do I do?
Drive to another river which is not blown. ;D

Ahhh - fly OK- I would(and many prolly wouldn't, so don't take this as gospel) pinch on a small piece of split shot- you can get some really tiny and variable sizes up. If the first didn't give me the big enjoy, add another. Don't pinch too tight. Maybe get the line out than to just the edge of the rip and mend your way down, staying in the edge as much as you can.
How long is your leader? Float, intermediate or full sink? What weight rod? A lot of variables.

Read the river and still fish like Nova.
Check out - http://www.jimteeny.com/indexMain.html?content=catalog&page=jtCatalog/catalog/catIntro.html
Then select Fly Lines and T-Series on the left hand menu - recon the T-300 is the best all-rounder for our rivers.
Enjoy! ;)
-
Thanks for all the tips. I'll have to go through each one and ask my questions...
Lots of spare time during my business trip..,until then it's salmon fever :P
