2009 Fraser River barfishing video (both instructional and action footages)
« on: August 01, 2009, 03:03:16 PM »
For awhile now some have been asking for information on barfishing. Nick, Chris and I have worked on this in the past week so that the information is readily available for anyone who wishes to learn. Total duration of this video series is 33 minutes and 17 seconds.

Part one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmfqiOQRkdQ

Part two: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5lwZXyIepg

Part three: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVwQ-UZq-Tc

Part four: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJFXpNvHz4Y

Part five: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UN8fkgoLJz8

Please watch the entire series before emailing me info@fishingwithrod.com if you have a question on barfishing. Most of the questions that I have received so far have been covered in these video clips. Nick Basok is a staff at Chilliwack Dart and Tackle. He is usually at the store on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday so you are also welcome to drop by the store to ask him about barfishing or any other fisheries in the Fraser Valley.

Enjoy!

Great info Rod...I didn't realize the leader strength we should be using.
Makes a lot of sense.

How big is the bite when barfishing? Is it subtle? or very obvious?
I've never caught anything bar fishing, except a branch that was floating down stream so i'm wondering what to expect when/if it happens.

great video BTW. Keep 'em coming.

The bites are usually pretty obvious. The rod would be bouncing in the holder until you run over and grab it. The fish usually hook themselves.

Part three is now available: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVwQ-UZq-Tc

The do's (explained by Nick) and the don'ts (demonstrated by yours truly) are shown in this video as a fish interrupted the instructional session.

Enjoy!

Nice vids Rodney.  Can you please ask them to turn the volume down on the music next time as I felt it was far too loud and distracting.
