Where can I fish right now?
« on: August 20, 2012, 01:51:30 PM »

Im stumped, Cap water is to low for fish to moveup, seymour fish havnt come in yet and the steelhead are up at the top, vedder spring run is done, squamish is still in freshet i beleive?

I did fish skagit, thats the only place I could think of.

Cheakmus chinook/dollies?

P.S. Id prefer not to fish lakes or travel to the island.

Anyone know anything about summer steelhead in the kokahala river? (however you spell that)

the Coquihalla is fly fishing only and catch and release. there are a limited number of holding spots and numerous anglers who want to fish it. It also doesn't typically fish well in low water & hot weather. The Fraser is the obvious choice and the Chehalis may be worth while if you are up to rock climbing in the canyon.

I dont really like beach fishing but i was considering that, how are they doing out off the cap mouth anyway?

I know the coq is a fly fishing only river, Is it a busy river? Never been.

I can be a busy river just like any other river. Some days won't see any one, some days there will be a truck at every hole (like today!).
Don't hesitate to come in and fish behind people though. If you know what you're doing you cans till get em (and use something diff).

PS watch the water closely  ;)

you should at least wait until they've done and left or are leaving. Just wait at the top of the run till it's your time.  Most of the spots are small and can only comfortably hold an angler or 2. The Coq is not the Cheddar or the Chehalis and people who fish there are looking for a non-combat angling expereince.
