This was my first trip with the BC women’s fly fishing group, an amazing opportunity To fish for salmon with an amazing group of women. This was my first time fishing for coho and chum salmon, and it was a challenging day on the water. After a long, fishless morning, we walked to a bend in the side-river of the Harrison, I saw a nice seam that the guides pointed out, chose a streamer, and waded out into the deep river to try my hand at a chum. It wasn’t until I was about to leave the spot that I hooked into a fish. It fought for it’s life for what felt an eternity—wild chum vs. my tired arms was a tough battle. Worth every minute spent wrangling when the guide netted the beast of a salmon for me when it was finally tired out. That chum was the biggest fish I’ve gotten on a fly, and he, and that day, will forever be remember by me.
