Vancouver Island, February 2011: Steelheading report
« on: February 07, 2011, 12:33:13 PM »
Up on the island steelheading, maybe planning on moving here. The fishing here has been fantastic with about 1-6 fish a day. Won't tell you guys which river but will leave it for you guys to explore. Anyways I'd like to share some pictures with you guys!

Hehe, I cant say. I'm sorry! Have yet to pull out the fly rod, but it seems like you'll have better luck with it than the vedder for sure!

Great shots Squirrel!  Looks like an amazing little stream.  Maybe the tannic water will help narrow down my search for this flow  ;).

Great post FS!
I would love to go up to the Island for some steelheading, but have not been able to put it in motion so to speak.
Maybe next season I will make it up there.
Cheers! ;D
