Author	Topic: New Fly Fisher Question!

Cheppy5	Posted: 1/6/2020 6:40:10 AM Reply Hey folks, I hope you're all having a good winter. I bought a 9ft 6wt fly rod (floating line) last spring and struggled to find anywhere to fish with it. I do not own a boat, so I tried shore fishing in the summer at Jones Lake, White Pine, Buntzen, Coquitlam River, and Alouette River. Using a variation of wet and dry flies. I had no luck at any of these spots and felt quite discouraged after doing hours of research and book reading on proper fly fishing techniques to ultimately struggle to find a decent place to fish. It felt to me everywhere I've been has been a poor place to target fish on a fly rod. I live in Coquitlam. I'm willing to drive/hike a fair distance to get to a decent spot to learn how to fly fish (from the shore). Does anyone here have any advice or knowledge they are willing to share? I haven't been able to find an answer searching on Google and Youtube. I'd love to go to an area that is suitable for fly fishing where I can spend this year learning. Instead of wasting my opportunities like I did last year. Cheers guys, and I look forward to chatting with you all.
