Thank you Gill for doing this! As you can see in the video she's very knowledgable when it comes to fishing in the Lower Mainland. If you are starting out and needing help, definitely stop by her family store at 201 Lonsdale Avenue North Vancouver to have a chat with her or her dad. :)

Really great video. Its been years since I fished for Pinks and frankly, didn't do it a whole lot; but really enjoyed it back then. Now I find myself with a teenager who wants to get out on the river and start fishing, so was happy to find this video.

Hey! I live right above you guys and you helped me out getting my pink set up together, I’m still very new to fly fishing but hopefully I’ll get my first pink one of these days! Rod, your tips have been great, you’re such a good resource and I love all your educational content. All your activity in forums like flybc really shows your passion for the community, you truly add a lot of knowledge so thanks. Hopefully you’re doing better. Tight lines!

If you're starting out, the best information you're going to get is from your local fly/tackle shop. These days people go online to find info and try to learn new skills, but most of it is hit or miss and you have to sift through the bs on forums. Go spend a few bucks at your local shop and they'll almost certainly tell you exactly what you need to know.

Very informative and straight to the point. Question about the reel, is there a particular gear ratio to use on pinks and or other salmons or just personal preference?
@jasonsfishingagain312
@jasonsfishingagain312 3 жыл бұрын
There isn't really a "gear ratio" on your everyday fly reel. There used to be multiplied reels, but I've never actually seen one. The reels you would buy are standard, mid, or large arbour reels, and a large arbour will pick up line a bit faster than a standard arbour of the same physical size. Though a standard arbour will accept more backing and in truth your flyline is then wrapped around a large arbour then too, but the spool isn't as wide and can dig in a bit.

@@jasonsfishingagain312 Hmm interesting, I heard her mention that in the video but was at a lost. Thanks for clarifying that, fly fishing is a whole new ball game then. I'm still making adjustments to cattle boat fishing with conventional/2 speed reels(seems alien to me) but fly reels sounds less complicated.

The only reason using 8wt rod in river is to deal with snagged fish. That is the main point.

The main question for beginner is how much would it cost to get into the right equipment?
@FishingwithRod
@FishingwithRod 3 жыл бұрын
A couple hundred dollars for the entire setup can get you started for sure, but you definitely get what you pay for. More expensive rods cast better and are easier on your arms, more expensive reels are less likely to break down due to drag wear or saltwater damages. For fly lines, you can get a floating line and just get the sink tips as Gill suggests instead of getting one reel for floating line and another line for sinking line. I'd go into the store like hers to check out all the options and see what fit your budget.

Is it fine to use a 7/8 wight rod/reel
@FishingwithRod
@FishingwithRod Жыл бұрын
Yep! It should be fine especially if river current is faster than normal. A slow 7 or fast 5/6 is ideal.

Is the Kastking Emergence 8 weight fly combo a good beginner combo for pink and coho salmon?
@steelegill
@steelegill 3 жыл бұрын
Hi Landon, I am not familiar with the KastKing Emergence series but an 8wt fly outfit for pinks is an excellent setup for beginners for both pinks and coho salmon. Having an 8wt will aid you in turning over salmon flies or sink tips as well giving you a bit more backbone to play the fish once you catch it. As a newer fly angler, having that little bit of extra help in the rod will aid you in landing fish and preventing rod breakage.

I wouldn't say it is simple, but it's easier to get into than people may think. Too often people get intimidated by it, so hopefully videos like this can make that introduction easier. Gill is also really good at getting people started.

Again, they are just not pinks. It doesn’t offend me or my channel. By saying “it’s just pinks” and they are trash, that’s how we end up having people kicking fish back in the river when they don’t want them.
