will you be chasing steelhead? Out in the back waters of the Fraser looking for Cutties?  or are you going to hit the lakes? or maybe the ocean!


Personally I plan on doing some shore fishing at Mike Lake, Some searching in Alouette Lake!  and maybe if the weather is good towards the end of the month some ocean fishing in Vancouver! Great time to use spoons and hootchies in the ocean!

Any other great March fisheries that im missing? any course fish in the Fraser?

Huge dogfish in Coal harbor fight like small chinook and there are lots around

I’ll hopefully find the time during spring break to hunt some carp on the fly

I will be on some holidays this month. I will be trying with my gear out at the C/V river. Clay seems a problem...
Also there is the salmon fishing in Howe sound and the harbour. Usually it is the spoons that work best, but Rick Clark had one on a green spackle back last week.
 I'm not sure when Horseshoe bay will pick up but it will be in March, and the fish are up higher. Irish creme in a 3.5 works well for me. others like a red and green striped pesca, or a yellow striped pesca.

Yep, sometimes dont even need to cast.

The "Kid's fishing pond" at tradex!? Kidding, sort of. Still remember it from years ago though.

The dogdish are a lot of fun, though I don't go to Coal Harbour. I always hold a few herring strips back from the November sale and fish Boundry Bay.

Those Pike should be a bit bigger, having fed on ducks all winter.

I painted the feet and underside of a few ducklings on the underside of my Spratley. My thoughts are once a Pike sees this and strikes the underside of my boat, I'll know when to put down the chironomid rod and pick up the heavy artillery for the Pike.

Hey, a guy's got to be creative to get one of those elusive Mill Lake Pike.

  Try a drake mallard pattern, fully dressed, orange feet larger than normal, on a floating line.  Then just hang on Pat ...

Crikey, thanks Dave. This could be the ultimate in angling efficiency. A double duty Flure/camouflaged indicator. A topwater flure for the Pike and a naturally camo'd indicator for suspended balanced leeches or chironomids. This could truly be the first angling apparatus that can effectively be used to span all Mill Lake species. Use it for hanging doughballs for the Catfish or Wormballs for the Sturgeon. Bass/Sunfish/Perch - no problem - it covers everyone and everything.

This is Patent worthy.

Come to think of it, you could incorporate a remote control drive into this and suddenly you no longer need a boat and it can satisfy all your R/C cravings.

Dave, you are a Legend. You've taken outrageous to a whole new level. Well played good man.

Yup, Alouette, Kawakawa, maybe a run to Chilliwack Lake.  Might even try to carefully plan for a trip around the sound and the harbour.  If I ever get my riggers mounted properly.

I don't have a super sea worthy boat, so 99% lake fishing for me.
