Fishing with Rod: Spring bull trout in Vancouver

For more fishing videos, please visit: www.fishingwithrod.com If you live in Vancouver BC, you don’t have to venture far to catch trophy size fish. In spring, large bull trout follow juvenile salmon down the Fraser River and they can be caught in the estuaries. In this video blog, we target bull trout by fishing with roe bags as the water is too muddy for fly or lure fishing due to freshet. It was a short evening outing but check out what ended up on the end of the line. Subscribe to go Fishing with Rod!

@abcguk The rod is custom built from a 4wt Rainshadow fly fishing rod blank.

@FishHunterVideos They sure are. I used to live and fish in Melbourne, but most of my fishing was done in Port Philip for whiting, snapper and trevally.

@c17hydro1 Glad you’ve enjoyed the content so far. :) Bull trout has become one of the more common target species here in British Columbia during the winter months. Lots of different opportunities for them up here.

@fishingwithrod The clear Intermediate is my best friend. Amazing line for sure.

@Kremlin60 I just use freshwater line. There are two lines that I usually use – Scientific Angler GPX (floating) or Stillwater (clear intermediate sink). The GPX is used at bays or when the tide is not moving. The Stillwater is used in deeper and places where current is a bit strong.

@fishingwithrod I would gladly volunteer to be hooked in the name of entertainment :D ! Btw, do you need a saltwater line for fly fishing or will a freshwater one work better?

@Michaech78 Thanks. Roe is only allowed in certain fisheries during certain time of the year in British Columbia. In this particular fishery (the Fraser River), roe is actually prohibited in part of September and October when a few endangered salmon are returning to it.

@1Moongate We’ll start recruiting volunteer joggers and see what we can do. :)

@riesie93 Thanks. A soft net is definitely a must. Unhooking mats etc are more for carp fishing. Here in British Columbia, you’re required to release your fish with care by keeping them in the water at all time except when you are taking a photograph. :) Unfortunately it is not practiced enough by new anglers so this is always a good reminder.

Just saw your new release and as always, Thank-you for posting. Btw I am curious to seeing video episode of “backcast joggers—that did not get away”. Hagd

@lucasmacewan Thanks. That’s one of the things we really want to emphasize in all our videos. A soft mesh net to minimize slime loss, minimal time for fish being out of the water (people can always replay the vid to see the fish again) and a clean release soon after.

How come you guys aren’t using nets? Easier on you and the fish, no?
