Thanks Steve and Rachelle kicks ass!

+Aaron Cobb Thank you Aaron! Salmon on the fly are very very fun! I have got bass on the fly too and they are also very very fun! I hope that you get a chance to add fly fishing for salmon to your experience list one day soon :)

shhhh

Always "fly" unless your not comfortable with the setup. It's all fish at end of your line, especially with COHO BOOM !

shhhhh

People who know about the disaster of fish farms hate them out here. Period.

Seem like the type of fellas to go to sleep in their weighters

We have a whack load of videos including a NEW SERIES "CAST NORTHWEST" coming out on JUNE 28, 2016!

+Oliver Casey Starting out to get the hang of it-head into a big chain store and grab a starter rod for around that price and youll be good to go :)

thanks

There isn't too much that you can buy for 50$. Typically a fly setup with a good disc drag reel will cost you 200-300$ at the lower quality end. Really good rods will be upwards of 1 grand.

+MrWorkouter The rods are just cheap deals that were on sale

+Jon Fisher Thanks Jon Fisher! This is the West Coast of BC

Sweet! Awesome fishing videos. always watching your new ones. KEEP THEM COMING!!! :)

+Tristan duck Hey Tristan, great question! So...without getting into it too much, I will outline the issue: I am assuming that you are familiar with the biology and life cycle of pacific salmon. Coho are typically around 18 moths old when they return to spawn, the last phase of their lives and the one that likely puts the most stress on the fish and during which they exert the most energy all while relying strictly stored fat reserves. They do not take any energy in during this phase but have to compete with others for a mate, escape the countless predators, dig their redds, release thousands of eggs and sperm at the exact right moment, cover their fertilized eggs with substrate, protect their redds from predators and competitors. This is all assuming that they have enough energy to make it to suitable spawning habitat up river. When we catch a fish, they literally fight for their lives and consume an enormous amount of energy in the process. With all salmon once they enter fresh water, they are not going to get a chance to restore the energy that they have consumed while being caught and released so they will be tapping into energy supplies that they desperately need to successfully reproduce. Even the best handled salmon have a diminished chance at spawning when in the rivers once released. A poorly handled salmon chances are reduced even more. However, this doesn't mean that all salmon caught and released wont spawn but some wont and their chances are reduced. There is some research that has been done that strongly supports this argument and I encourage you to dig around and find it. Thanks for the awesome question and let me know if you have anymore, Take care, Captain Quinn

bbq has it's rewards , lots of Coho, so don't worry about keeping a few, "use the two stick nets" & release gently while still close to water.

Coho is one of the species of Pacific salmon

Coho is the hardest hitting species of Pacific Salmon, ---go with flys always if you can unless your a meat fisher, which is cool, however to have a nice Coho on your fly is the ultimate in Salmon fishing, maybe all fishing.. Cheers --PS-- they are delicious (do not over cook , bbq rare & OH MY ! )

+turbosolan the intro song.... :P
