If you seek a technical style river, for czech nymphing etc... introduce yourself to the Skagit river. Beautiful country, and not that far out of town. I prefer the Silver Skagit section, but many like the access from Highway 3.

I love technical nymphing styles. Its all Iv done on Rivers.

Seeing that your in the lower mainland .... have you picked which target species you want to go after .. I can suggest trying for some “searun cutttroat “ it’s been awhile since I’ve gone after them a lot of tributaries of the river hold them .... worth some research

Im not really fussy on species. I just want to catch to start with. I will look in to the Searun troat, Thank you.

this is a pink salmon year on the mainland. They should be starting in the Squamish River now. That's where you should be heading now. The run lasts into late August.

If you want to catch trout in bc read this book

https://troutwaters.ca/products/morr...akes-paperback

my sister (who is a much better angler than me) got it for me as a birthday present 20? years ago and it’s all you need. An entertaining read as well.

One of my favourite passages from the book was in the leech chapter. In describing his dislike of leeches the author wrote “the fact that trout like leeches does not improve my view of leeches. It only serves to lessen my opinion of trout”.

get it and have the curtain of uncertainty lifted.
