I second what rod said however I will add this. I started fishing the cap last year, had some successful days and a few that were just downright frustrating. That being said the biggest draw for me is the beauty of this river. There is a reason many tourists are drawn to this river, not just to fish. I don't regret any of my trips to this river despite many unsuccessful trips. Yes if your goal is to catch lots of fish or expect to get something on every trip this river is most likely not for you, unless you live close, I do not. The reason I make the hour and a bit drive is I like to be in awe of what a beautiful province we live in. As for your rod I use a 7wt fly rod or a light bait caster rated 7-15 pound test, it handles any coho that river dishes out and the rare summer steelhead. So yes a ultra light trout outfit may be a bit light...
it take me around 1hour to bus there, so not tht bad, i always bus 1.5hour to larfarge to fish lol. i had just mostly fish in the lake. or fraser river sturgeon off the shore, now i wanna go to some "river" flowing location to fish, and its so nice to see those little stream flowing down
