    I go salmon fishing in Nov the last 3 years. It’s awesome, although this last year I tied my leader at around 2 and a half to 3 feet, not knowing or thinking about the delay time, as a result from the nights before and the cold beers, but this year I’ll be sure to consider that and slay some beauties 🎣

    Hey Rod, I just have a question in regards to fishing the Vedder/Chilliwack River. Is it common/ popular to fly fish on the river? If so, is there room on most of the river to fly fish? Or would you recommend the set-up that you described in the video?

    Hi Rod, I'm not new to fishing but am very new to fishing for salmon. My main interests are in Coho and Chinook. I believe my Salmon rod is only 9 1/2 feet. Is it still usable for float fishing or should I be trying to focus more on spincasting? Last question, how do you recommend a newbie like me finds good areas to fish? I often find myself discouraged (i've been out several times) and have only caught one salmon and it was just by sheer luck (spot fishing, cast under a log). I don't need to be the only one fishing an area but I hate jam packed places and those are the only places local fisherman seem to be willing to divulge in terms of information. Love your stuff!

    Thanks for the how to, it would really, really help. When you are presenting your technique. To get the camera lens as close as you can to your work. We cant make out half of the procedure because the camera is to far away from your hands. Thanks
