SPEY ROD DEALS ON NOW!

If you have ever seen Spey fishing, you have surely thought of trying it for yourself.

Spey fishing (double handed fly fishing) Can be an incredibly fun and rewarding experience. It may look tricky but is easy to learn and a much more efficient way of covering large amounts of water rapidly and easily.

There has never been a better time to get into this increasingly popular fishing style!

Come check out our great deals on a variety of rod makes!!!

Local Rivers Oct 13 2011

 

We are now in the heart of salmon season. This is a very exciting time to fish your favorite salmon bearing rivers. In the shop we are hearing steady reports of good fishing on the local flows such as the vedder and the stave.

Most fisherman are using the widley prefered drift fishing teqniphes and using wool, roe, blades and jigs with succsess.

As the springs start to colour up i suggest targeting the coho with small hooks and pink and peach wool, fresh roe or small spoon/bluefoxes if you would like to change things up from float fishing.

Remember when targeting coho to fish water that is not heavily occupied by springs
