Fly fishing in Vancouver Feb 2010

[Happy Clam]

Hi Bros, I'm a fly fisher from Hong Kong and planned
to spend my holiday to Vancouver Feb next year. I may
sneak a day for fly fishing there. I'll stay in Richmond.
Where can I fish? I searched over the internet the guide
service is quite expensive (Pitt river). Is there any suggestion
for other river? Sorry for questions, I'have never been Canada
before. Cheers

Catch & Release

Welcome to BC,
I would recommend fishing the Vedder (Chilliwack) river. You can home-base in Chilliwack and there is 30km of accessible river close to town. You do not need a guide, there will be lots of hatchery steelhead in the river. Fish low and slow with intruder style flies. Hope this helps!

yeah I have to agree with BL, the Vedder is probably your best bet, my buddy has been into a few good fish over the last week... good luck !

HC-- winter flyfishing is pretty tough for a first-time angler in BC.

I think you might generate more ideas if you post over on this site. They answer a lot of questions for novices

Thank you very much Blackleech! You suggestion is very useful to me.
By the way, should I bring the single hand or Spey rod? Or both. Thanks in advance.
