Bull Trout fly fishing in Canada
Fly Fishing with Streamers in Whistler BC. While the water is rising in Whistler, Pemberton and Squamish we welcome the abundant presence of Salmon fry. This makes for some very fun fly fishing with the use of Streamer fly patterns. Streamers are a great pattern to learn how to fly fish with because the strikes are explosive! Meaning, fish can practically pull a fly rod out of your hands if you are not ready for the strike. Streamers are easily fly fished with a swing and stripping retrieval. Break up the retrieve with different length strips and speed bursts, remember you want your minnow pattern to look crippled. Crippled being an easy target and meal, which predatory fish key in on such as Bull Trout.
Fly Fishing Streamers and Salmon Fry Patterns
Fish in the mouth of a Bull Trout
As you can see in the picture above, Bull Trout have acquired a taste for other fish. There is an age old saying “match the hatch” in this case match the fry. A couple fry patterns that we have been having great success with are the Moto Minnow, minute minnow and George’s Kraft and Krystal Minnow. All of these minnow patterns listed are very effective in catching predatory fish such as Bull Trout, Rainbow Trout and Coastal Cutthroat Trout this time of year. If any of the Rivers you fly fish receive a Salmon run in the fall, you better believe that there are Salmon fry there in the spring. While fly fishing streamer and minnow patterns you will want to be fishing the bottom 3rd of the water column. Add weight to your fly or leader until you have reached the preferred depth. Salmon fry will take refuge near structure, so look for log jams, underwater logs/trees and or deep water that piles into large rock. Your best option would be to spend a day out with one of our professional fly fishing guides and let us get you on the fast track to success.
