That river was sure full of salmon! Bobber and egg fishing has always been my favorite way to catch salmon, although I don't get to do that very often now. Our Coos Bay salmon are almost always "chromers"" since they are in salt water in the Bay and close to the ocean. However, the action is nothing like the fishing you just had. If you get one salmon in 5 hours of fishing that is a good day. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah they both can be fun for sure. 😄 For terminal fisheries like this one, lots of hook-ups like you mentioned but on some days you really have to pick and choose what to retain. We've also fished the Somass other years and I recall one year every single fish was chrome because river level was much higher, but fish were a lot more spread out.

Im having no luck catching Salmon with spoons, jointed Rapala or spinners. Any advice?

Love your videos Rod. Is it possible to do a DIY trip like this? I'm from Alberta, by the way. And could you access fishable areas by hiking in and fishing from shore?

@FishingwithRod 3 ай бұрын

Yep, you certainly can access this river system by foot, but it’s somewhat limited compared to other popular systems like the Chilliwack/Vedder River. It can get pretty busy due to limited space. With the guided trip from the boat it’s definitely quite a treat, especially good for retirees and kids.

Great video Rod and my fishing buddy and I both agree, we'd love a fishing buddy like Linda. Not just beautiful but knows what she's doing and what she is catching.

Looks like an awesome time! Is the river kayakable? Looks like a beautiful location

@FishingwithRod 2 ай бұрын

It would depend on how high the water is I guess. I’ve seen the part where we fished in this video high and fast as well.

Nice video, is this Somass river near Port Alberni in Vancouver Island? We are planning a small family trip into this area at the end of this August. If it the same river i should get my fishing rod with me.

@FishingwithRod Ай бұрын

Yes. You should bring your rods for sure.

I was on the river yesterday, the river was smaller compared to the Vedder, but it was less crowded, ppl don't stay shoulder to shoulder ;). Plus the Coho and Chinook are bigger. Yesterday there were a lot of fish in the river , but most of it was sockeye salmon. Btw most of the ppl used flossing techniques for fishing. But I can confirm the standard setup with the bobber works as well.

@FishingwithRod Ай бұрын

It's a "smaller" system due to less shore access points unlike the Vedder. Beside average size, its hatchery chinook production is ten times larger than Chilliwack's. Not sure why people even bother flossing for them. With that many fish, it's pretty easy to get proper bites with the right presentations.

Another excellent video Rod & Linda 👍🎣👍🎣. I'm really going to miss Salmon fishing😢, as I have moved back to England recently from Mission B.C. As you could pay up to 250 pounds to fish rivers, & NO guarantee that you will catch. .

@northvanbcfishing3454 3 ай бұрын

For this river need a fly rod 9ft 8wt with full sinking line that’s gonna be awsome!

@ianwagner4186 3 ай бұрын

If you like flossing stacked fish the fly rod works the best

First rule of fishing. The fish are always jumping, 'Just over there.' The aquatic version of, 'the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.'

Im still trying to figure out why you do everything with your right hand, yet you dont reel in with your left. Make it make sense 😅. Another great outing Rod!

@FishingwithRod 2 ай бұрын

It doesn’t make sense for sure, but it’s just an old habit that I’ve had for forty years now so never bothered to change. 😆 These days I do use both right and left handed reels though. The only thing I’ve noticed is that when I use a left handed reel, my right hand ended up to be quite sore from gripping the rod all the time. On the other hand, when I use a right handed reel, I have a tendency to switch hands often to hold the rod.

Linda has been a great asset to the videos, glad you and others have enjoyed her work. Make sure you all check out her YT channel as well, she's producing some pretty unique content on her own beside filming for me.

Lots of guests from Europe come to this lodge and only fly fish for them and they always have a blast. Hard on gear though, beside these ones we caught in the video, it's not uncommon to hook up specimens up to 25lb or more.
