Before everybody rush out to the Capilano I was at the Cap first thing in the morning. Did not see one car in the parking lot nor did I see another fisherman. I was there close to 2 hours and fish various spots. Consider the reports for what it's worth !
-
Let me be the first to say that I know Gumboots and he is a very seasoned fishermen. If he reported catching Cohos on the Cap today,
BELIEVE IT!
-
Thanks Randog , I was there early as reported , got into fish as per said , I don't NEED to make a mountain out of a mole hill . right spot , right time . Yummy in my tummy... maybe YOU were in the wrong spot ...
-
I put the reports in good faith , Am not asking you to rush out to the cap. If you are able to get out and know where to go and how to fish it , if the fish are there you will be rewarded as per my reports...

Doc. spin'n glo , was using 6 lb. leader and nice chum berries. I was with Mr. Corker floats and a local.

Great work gumboots, a very good report and its nice to hear of some excellent success there. I tried Sunday and had no luck but it is so true about that river, the right place at the right time. Congrat's.
-
Hey Gumboots. Glad to see you scooping all the fish. JUST KIDDING!! Must be nice to get out midweek. We should hook up some time and check it out. I used to fish the cap quite a bit. Give me a shout some time.
-
Glad you got some fish Gumboots. Is there any Fly water on the cap or is it better fished with gear or bait. Reason I ask is I bought a new fly rod and I am itching to try it out. As I have only fished the cap a few times I don't want to waste my time searching for something that isn't there if you know what I mean. Cheers.
-
Uncivil, the Capilano River is mainly a gear show. I've been fishing it most mornings between 4:30am - 6:30am, that seems to be the best times. If you still have my phone number, give me a call and I'll point you in the right direction ;D
-
Excellent. I sort of figured it was mostly gear but you know how it is when you get a new toy!
-
Normfish: I'm heading to the McGratten Run after lunch. See you there ! ;D
PS I almost forgot, bring green worms !
-
Back to your study Normfish ;) I recall in an earlier post that you have never fish the Cap so how would you know about Coho Blue ? ;D
-
Hey guys,
I've never fished the cap before, but I'd really love to try some early morning (or evening) flycasting there....I was flyfishing this weekend in the interior for the first time in a few years and it was so great, I have to try to make a habit out of it. Does anyone have any advice or locations (im not after personal secret spots..) they're willing to share with me? I don't plan on keeping any fish or getting in anyones way, I just want to get out there with half a clue as to where to go. At this point I'm so ignorant on the matter I'd probably cast from the parking lot! Thanks

Hi there marmot, a spot that is very good for frequent flyer's is Dog Leg Pool. It has low rocks, a pretty allowable back swing and if you hit it right, Presto, break out the bar-B. Oh I forgot, You're not going to keep any. When I went there yesterday I met a nice 60ish gent and his wife who was just learning the trade and he told me he hooked a couple the day before on Wooly Bugger's, whatever they are. Unfortunately they both got off, the feisty little Bugger's. Dog Leg is easy to find, just go to the hatchery and walk towards the water at the hatchery. There is a display stand full of Capilano maps, least it was yesterday. That should do it. If you have any other questions just IM me and I'll make sure you find it, take care and Good Fishing All.

Fish my friend. , any fish out of the Magrattan this aft? I kicked the poop out of it mid morning till around 12:00 then up river I went.
-
I'm sad to report that the McGratten Run did not produce for me this afternoon. Tried everything I had in my arsenal: roe, shrimps, spoon, spinners, green worms, and Normfish's favourite Blue Coho. I'm bringing out the treble hooks tomorrow ! ;D
-
Thanks alot ATZ, I'll be sure to give it a whirl!! And fyi, a wooly bugger is a fly that looks kind of like one of those wooly caterpillars, with a short woolish tail. They work on a variety of species, I guess coho too! I'll be using barbless so that should be fun...Thanks again and maybe I'll see ya out there sometime. I'll be the guy with dual soakers ;D
-
You're right again Max. Loooooooooong leaders ! ;)
-
I'm a "sportsfisherman" As such I will continue using treble hooks and loooooooooong leaders. It gives the fish a slim chance of earning its freedom ;D
-
;D ;D ;D
-
I'm bringing out the treble hooks tomorrow ! ;D
You conveniently left out the ;D
