    Hey Rod, I've been watching you videos for years and you have helped me so much. I'm think I'm more like you, I love spoons and spinners more than twitching jigs. I tied up some twitching jigs this year and its fun to catch coho on them, but I just LOVE it when they hit a spinner. This year I was successful throwing spinners in calmer water, especially when the river is high like it has been. Also really love your video about the floods and I'm so happy the Fraser Valley Watershed Coalition exists to re-wild areas for our salmon to spawn and survive. It will be the key to sustaining salmon for many years to come. Thanks again for all your great work!

    I’ve always really loved your tackle videos Rod! You’ve got to get on the twitching jig train! Personally, I like using twitching in all types of water especially moving water, you have to know your depths but it changes how I retrieve and jig, as it’s more jigging and less retrieving (let the current do the work). Anyway, it’s been a game changer this season for me. Appreciate the video!

I have had very limited success this season with a chartreuse spinner, and am trying to find deeper and slower moving water to target. What would be a good way to tweak things to optimize fishing on a larger river? Thanks in advance to any who respond!

    Hi Rod, It appears I have been doing it right as far as technique and lures. You mentioned that you like to use spinners as well. I caught a couple large brown trout using a Mepps Flying C 7/8 oz (#5) last fall. Is this the type of spinners you have been using? I also like that you replace the treble hooks on the spoons with single hooks. I do that as well. Better hookup and easier release too.

    I actually make my own spinners to customize them for what I need. I tend to make 1/8 and 1/4oz ones with a sieze 3 or 4 French blade. Here in British Columbia, we legally have to use a single barbless hook to fish in streams. In fact, yes I use a single barbless for pretty much all fisheries these days, it's just a lot easier.

    Thank you Rod! I have been trying to do a bit more spinning on the Vedder. This is my first year in the Fraser Valley and despite many hours on the river trying different methods I haven't had much luck... I am always concerned that I am in the wrong spot for spinning as everybody around me seems to be float fishing with roe. Am I really in the wrong spots? Or is spinning just not as popular of a method? Thanks again Rod!

    4 жыл бұрын

    Aidan, there's nothing wrong with being the only spinning guy among float fishers (check out the Facebook and Instagram video I just put up today lol). The only problem is that you have to watch all the floats in the water and time your cast right to avoid them all. This means you would not get in as many casts as you would like. I tend to avoid it and only spin fish at places where there's no one around. Good spincasting spots are also not that ideal for float fishing. I tend to look for very tight pockets around log jams etc and make 20 to 40ft casts, the retrieves are usually only a few seconds long. It's almost like bass fishing in some way, sending the lure out and expecting a bite immediately if there is a fish in "the hole". As mentioned in the video, once we get into the second half of October and more fish are in the system, they become more aggressive and will take lures more readily than now. Keep trying! :)

No problem with mine so far in the past five years. For brown trout that size, I'd go with the 2500. :)

    Thanks for the informative video Rod! Wish I saw it prior to heading out to Vedder last Sat. We saw fish jumping where we were, but no bites (again). Been casting all wrong (rooky). Was flyfishing so should I adjust how I present my fly (use heavier sinking tip with sinking fly), locate slower waters or just give-up flyfishing on the Vedder (didn’t see anyone else doing it) and pick-up a spinning rod?

  • @FishingwithRod

    Hi Selena, so keep in mind that the Chilliwack/Vedder River is probably the hardest river to catch a salmon/steelhead from in BC. Even though its returns of salmon are pretty abundant, it is the most heavily fished river in BC. If you are just starting out, I wouldn't recommend to go with fly fishing right away (I also rarely fly fish it). Fly fishing is a lot more challenging than other techniques because you're dealing with getting your presentation down to the fish in moving water. This is a lot harder to do with a fly line than a lure or bait. This means you're limiting yourself the number of chances for the fish to see your offering, therefore the number of bites you're going to get is a lot lower. Spoon fishing is still pretty difficult, but you'd have a lot more chances. Regarding coho, don't pay too much attention to fish that are jumping out of the water, those most likely are not coho salmon but are chinook or chum salmon. They are also usually not biters. What you're looking for are what we call coho rolling or "finning" near the surface. If you are fishing in a pool, or the tailout where the current is walking pace, and you see a fish poking its head/dorsal fin once awhile, or a small swirl, those are coho, and those are biting coho! Your chance of getting a fish goes up quite a bit when you are able to find these spots. Also don't focus too much on areas where water is really fast. As mentioned before, you're looking for water that is moving at your walking pace, depth should be anywhere from 2 to 6 feet. The bottom substrate should be a mix of gravel to small head-size rocks.

It is a lot easier and you can get into more fish. Good luck with the coho! We got three more weeks of good coho fishing on the Vedder, followed by good chum salmon fishing in the first three weeks of November. :D

    I'd say ideally, you should have one spinning rod for lakes, and one spinning rod for salmon in rivers. It's really hard to find one particular rod which can accommodate both fisheries. If you really really have to, I'd say go with the Shimano Clarus 6', 4-10lb, shown in this video. That particular rod is slightly too heavy for small trout, but works great for bigger trout, bass, pike, pink salmon, coho salmon.

    Hey there, would you recommend getting a medium or a fast Action Rod for fishing for salmon? And does it really matter if you are fishing with a spinnig or a casting Rod? Greetings from Germany

  • @FishingwithRod

    3 жыл бұрын

    I think it really depends on what type of fishing you are doing. I always prefer a slow action rod to get a better bend on it when bringing in a salmon, but it really depends on what lures you are using. If I am jigging, then I would use a shorter and faster action rod like I explained in this video. If I am fishing with spoons and spinners, a slower action rod it is. If I am beach fishing with bigger lures, then I'd be using a longer and faster action rod.

    Could you do a video on how and when to set the hook? How you tell if you're getting a bite vs bouncing on the bottom? That type of video would be super super helpful! Thanks for the great video!

    Ooh that's a hard one to do, but I'm always up for the challenge. All I can say is that when you've done enough spinning, it's fairly easy to distinguish between a proper bite, a snag or even a fish that's about to be foul hooked. There are definitely also ways to to avoid snags too. I'll work on it.

    Adam Bolding-Jones it’s always better to start with a short leader because aggressive fish will attack bait or lures drifting past above them. That way you’ll get less snags and fewer foul hooked fish.

    Great choice! That is my favourite float rod for coho salmon. I’ve also caught chinook salmon, steelhead and chum salmon up to around 10 to 15lb. That works fine in slow to moderate flow, but you’d be pushing it in the fast current.

    Is a 4000 size spinning reel too big for a 9ft rod?

  • @FishingwithRod

    @FishingwithRod

    4 жыл бұрын

    That would depend on the rating of the rod. If you are using a rod that's rated 10 to 20lb, for sure it is not too big. The rods being featured in this video are rated between 6 and 12lb, therefore we use a 2500 size spinning reel to go with these. There's no reason to use a 4000 size spinning reel if you are targeting coho salmon. A reel that size is quite a bit heavier and you'd get pretty tired if you are going to cast with it all day.
