    Nice trouts. If you guys want real bonefish experience before you go. Go find some carp in the okanagan or Shuswap and take em on the fly. Excellent fishing. For average 10# fish sight fished on the fly

    That is a great way to start her new hobby, with some fine trout in beautiful scenery.

    Moving up to Bone fish and Permit will require some getting used to the weight of the fly rod and reel. Also casting practice is important so take advantage of days both good and bad on dry land to practice casting. Wind is the one of the most frustrating things that flyfishers face when they have not practiced casting into the windy conditions. Even beach fishing for Salmon many flyfishers will pass on a days fishing because it is too windy. Practice casting and chase those tropical dreams.

    That's awesome - congrats to her. Our rivers up here in the Peace are all still blown out from all the rain making it hard to fish in my favourite spots.
