Post by: gumboots on May 20, 2004, 11:50:27 AM
Went again today , Got there earlier and was it super great. 2 locals before me and had  already been into  4 - 5  each .Some lost , some released . smaller ones I guess .Get your line in ,There here....Quickly gear up and first cast missed it , but on the slow retreive it grabbed it .Fish on !!  small one and released it . Back out quickly, Fish on !! nice one ,  BONK !! Back in again , missed it . Rebait and back out again , Fish on !!  The other  2 had a fish on ..Triple header , Yahoo !! mine was a small fish so I released it .. 4 casts  and  3 fish , then it went slow for about  15 - 20 min. More pushed thru , Here we go again...,, all you could hear was missed it , fish on , missed it , fish on , fish on , fish on , Lotsa fish pushing thru , Water has dropped about 18 - 24 from yesterday . still gin clear , a little slower on the drift though , but lotsa action !!  Released 5 smaller ones (selective fishing ) but got my  2 , so did the others . they also had a great time , fish were hitting from  6 - 8 am. today  suddenly dropped dead  !! Musta been very close to about  30 fish we were into . missed , lost , released..... Bye  9 am.all of us are going home . Will try again in a few weeks . Between work and holidays no time to fish . DARN  !!#%*& ...... So guys and gals get out there and hope you have fun like we had  .. Yummy in my tummy , and no green worms ..lol

Great report! Try using crocodile spoons they work very well.  Escpecially the smooth brass fire wing crocodile spoon.

 Mabelingwane ;: Good berries ...( dog berries or Nookie berries ) and depends on the kind of water you are fishing !!
 Fulcrum - 29 ;:  Yes we all love woman , BUT  I love fishing more..lol     ...Too bad you were sleeping , but was your lady  dreamin' of all the fish you were missing ...lol
 Robert :;   Nothing wrong with  GOOD berries since it works well for me , have tried other goodies spoons , wool , spinners , shrimp , hootchies , krill , candy , kitchen sink ,  I'm sure brass works but maybe I just used them at the wrong time !!

I've only tried the cap a few times aswell. I found a map (www.digitalhillbilly.ca/capilano.gif  heres the link if anyone else would like it) but it's missing some of the key. Can anyone here fill in the missing names? and would like to? ;)  Over the next weeks i'll see what kinda fly fishing spots i can find and post some info here. Do the same if you like.
