Today me and my friend Robert were fishing early in the morning at around 4:30 at Doctors pool. For the first couple of casts we had nothing and then my friend said lets go up to Cable Pool so we when there and saw this guy on a fly rod with roe pull out a really nice and big coho. So we wanted to fish there but there was so many people we coudent. So after like 10 min we got board and went down to Dogleg pool. We casted for like 20 min and nothing there so we just whent to Cable pool again and tried it out and nothing there. After that we when to Doctors pool again and casted for a while and nothing. So we just went home. :'(

Thank's for the report Elite, I was there yesterday with some friends and we got skunked as well. But there must be some in there as other members are said to be catching them. Any ways good luck on your next trip.
-
Yes Keep at it Elite.Your efforts will pay off.There should be some early fish rolling in to the Cap now 8) 8)
-
8)Better luck next time 8)
-
Yeah me and my freind Robert should cath something tomorrw. We will be fishing the Cable Pool.
-
Hey Elite, The guy that caught the coho was using a centerpin reel and a centerpin rod. Secondly, that coho was only about three pounds so it's not that big.
-
Yeah we will have fun thanxs.
And thanxs for the corrections Robert.
-
Just keep at it , Elite ....Your effort , time and positive attitude will be rewarded...
-
yeah i know that they will soon be rewarded if i keep fishing with my Freind.
-
I love fishing the cap since it's so close and the fishing is pretty good. Even excellant at times.
-
Yeah your right fishing the Cap is really good.
-
Hey Elite, tomorrow should be an excellant day at the cap. Just remember keep positive and be confident in what you're using.
-
Ok Thanxs Robert i will keep it positive and i know that we will cath fish. :) :D ;D

i wa sthere today too didnt get any ho's but we found this one small run that had a mint 4-5 pound ho in it and a pair of steelies and first cast the damn steelhead grabbed my shrimp and there was nothing i could do i was kinda pissed because i just wanted to leave them alone but oh well...she swam away full of energy

5 hours in one spot ??? ??? ??? Why ?
-
5 hours in one spot is a little too much.

Was at the Cap today and had a little success. 2 on in 30 minutes, landed one and let it go. Then went and hooked up with a few friends and not much happening for the rest of the day. By the way, arrived at about 1PM. and hit three holes and stayed till 9:15. The fish just weren't in where we were and I know there are fish in the river it's always just a hit and miss. Good Luck Everyone.

That is so true gmanfxp. We've been going to the Cap for the past couple of months and we sure did'nt just go there to fill the freezer. It's all about having special memories and good times to remember for years to come. And if we catch something then that just adds to
it and makes it better. I have had a few members make comments to me in the same manner that they just did too you and it does make me smile. Maybe one day they'll understand. And one last thing before bidding adieu. As the fishing for coho becomes more intense, remember. Once you have your piece of paradise it may be a wise word to say, keep it and stay put, because if you think the fish are fatter on the other side, you may be right. But it could be packed with people by the time you arrive there, Good Fishing All.

Believe or not there are fish throughout the river, not just the pool you were fishing. In any pools, runs etc. there is only a small percentage of fish that bite. The fact that you fish that one pool for 5 hours and got nothing indicates to me that either the fish were not in a biting mood or you don't know what you were doing. Explore the river and find new spots ! You can still enjoy the relative wilderness paradise and get some exercise while doing it ! ;D

Very, very true Fish Assassin. Yesterday we went to three top-notch spots with not a whole lot of catching success. Does'nt really mean they're not in there, just that they are not in a biting mood. We did enjoy Capilanos beauty tho and gained loads of excercise and as we are just heading out today, six of us again, and most of us have sore legs from all the hiking yesterday. Hey, no pain no gain >:( ;) ;D
-
Any fly-guys out there?
-
it's really frustrating when you know the coho are in the area you're fishing but can't get them. Even if you throw your whole arsenal at them. this has happened many times. For instance, today I saw nobody catch anything and there were like 10 fishermen out there.
-
Which is what I did today and what I didn't want to do yesterday, I was quite happy staying where I was for 5 hours. If that somehow offends you suck it up and keep it to yourself.
Doesn't offend me in the least ! If you want to stay in one spot for 5 hours and get skunked, it's your right. I was just offering some advice.

any rappelers in this forum? i found a spot that is full of coho swimming in a holding pattern, but is walled in by sheer cliffs and no trails. i thought it might be fun to rappel down approx 200 feet to the water, tie off the rappel rack and drop an fly line in the water.
landing the fish might be interesting, but hey no crowds, and lotsa fish.
and yes........my idea of fun is getting lost in the wilderness and trying to find my way out. or rappeling the chief on a full moon, with just a glowstick to mark the ground, or night hiking the deeks lake trail back to cypress. ;D

Well Otto today would have been your day. There were about ten guys swimming the Cap.My dog thought I had planned a swimming party for her.She didn't now whether to join them or retrieve one of them.
Was my first time fishing the upper Cap.Spent an hour or so checking out the hatchery and scouting out places where I could safely fish with my four legged fishing partner.
Saw a bunch of guys fishing in different spots,cable pool,dog leg.I saw a couple of guys chucking feathers at dog leg.Saw no fish landed but one guy had one on for a short play date and that always keeps you there for aleast forty or fifty more Last Cast.Myself ,I only had a couple of good strikes but nothing to show for it.
Next time I'll fish the other side of the river and maybe meet some of the regulars to this location from FWR. Anyway, hound and I had a great outing and hope to return a couple more times in the coming weeks.
By the way ,does anyone know what time the gate opens in the AM.
Thanks and tight lines
