Well, to vary on the theme of the Chilliwack and the roe, the pocket fishing, the lining, the TOW and other inferior ways of fishing ;), I took out my fly rod and went looking for the elusive chromers.
I found a lot of tomatos willing to take my fly, but the bright fish took me a while.
Luckily, one spectacular doe hit my muddler really hard and after a fierce battle with all the elements of coho warfare (rolls, jumps, splashes, and runs), this pretty 11 pounder came to hand:

Here she is, in all its goodness:

Just had coho on the BBQ...yum!
And fly caught - tastes even better! :D
Summary of the day:
Nine on, 6 lost before landing, 3 to the beach, 2 released, 1 killed.
Great day fly fishing! :)

Milo, that's one of the four beautiful fish I lost on Thursday. You can have the fish, but please drop those two skeins of roe off at my doorstep in Richmond. ;D
Nice catch!

I am going south of the border tomorrow via Peace Arch.
Send me a mail with your phone number and maybe we can arrange to meet on my way down.
You can have the roe if you want, Rodney.
If not, I am pro-curing it tomorrow evening.

Hehe, I was just teasing. That's ok, thanks for the offer though. ;) Tomorrow I'm fishing somewhere I think...
Procure it up, give it to Bobo in case his fly stops working. ;D

Good luck tomorrow.
Hope you find one or two to land and keep.

Actually, I landed another two, but didn't think those tomatoes were worth of a photo op! ;)
