Wool drifting for salmon.
« on: July 20, 2005, 08:50:10 PM »
Hey guys just wanted to know what you think about this wool tie for just float fishing at the vedder for salmon. I know this is a fly fishing tie originaly but i think this would work pretty damn good for float drifting then just a chunk of wool.

This works very well short floating for steelhead with. Although I fish mostly bait my boy who was quite young at the time once tied up something similar to this many years ago for me. As he spent some time tying it for me I gave it a try.

I still remember the spot, a bit of a side channel between Lickman and Peach on the Vedder and on the second or third cast there he was. I believe I had him on for a short time before losing the steelhead.

I know people that fish this way SF'ing and do well, they do not like messy roe so they fish this way all the time with good results. Some mix colours into the tie and their was a famous one made by a famous Vedder angler now passed. There was an article on this in the Vancouver Sun many years ago. As I am afraid of getting the name of him and the name of the wool tie wrong I better not post it. Someone else may post it before I find it.

finding your limits is fun, it can also be VERY painful.

I am sure it was in the Vancouver Sun a long time ago. I believe his name may have been Teskey. Someone else must know about him. Will find out tomorrow if not sooner.

I heard from somewhere that the guy named Teskey fished everyday in the same spot during steelhead season, and so the locals or something named the spot after him. Dont know if its true.

Nick told me his name was Friskey. Will hunt for the article but will be a while before I find it.
