Split rings are personal choice. Use split rings on your spinners in saltwater salmon fishing or even steelhead. They help with these two things... 1, Easy hook replacement and 2, they help tremendously and make it harder for the fish to twist hooks out with the split rings, without em fish can...
Go to bi-mart and grab yourself a Shimano Sienna 4000 series reel. TBH it's the best reel out there for the price and their newer version of it looks even better and cleaner. I use it for everything I fish for and I fish steelhead a lot and have had quite a few successful salmon seasons on it in...
Is there anywhere to bank fish in any of these arms? I have a window from 10am to dark tomorrow. No boat, I was thinking about scouting some midcoast streams for winter time fishing, but if I can bank it and relax with a chance at casting at a coho of any size, I would much rather do that...
Probably the other marina people and other fisherman who want to be able to see people in smaller boats in dark/dawn. first light is the hardest time to see people oujt on the water with no lights. It's a community up there and everyone likes everyone to be safe there!

Sounds like you could do any float here, although there is some technical parts and splits around that you have to know which one to go on when you get more up river on our streams. If you been rowing since your a kid, you could probs do ant of our floats. Because of the fact its a new river to...
Sounds like you should target trout and bring a steelhead rod with you and hit the lower stretches of rivers then. Focus on hayden bridge down to Armitage. hayden to harvest is great trout water (remember the big fish have to swim through it too) Or you should be checking out jasper town to d...
One thing I noticed about our fish this year both salmon/steelhead. They both have less fat content in them then the did the previous years which will mean less storage time and these fish are going to turn dark quicker along with the meat. Any springer caught in the month of MAY should be...
Elijah can be good and it can't be cood at times. Good bank access with 7 miles of bank or sumthing like that. You have every type of water to fish there.
