there's a good chance that i'll be heading out to vancouver again this

anyone has had any personal experience. i will likely stick to fresh
water
fishing, although i have not decided for sure. sal****er fishing would
be
very convenient to my family's home, as i could venture on down the
block at
any given moment and hit the water without having to be guided and
driven
around, and i could get up and out while they are all still sleeping,
but i
don't know what is in that water, and whether my rod is appropriate for
that
kind of fishing. also, has anyone ever had any trouble flying with any
of
this equipment? do the security folks go nuts over any of our stuff?
any
input is appreciated.

thanks- snakefiddler

Without having been there, Id guess that Vancouver around christmas mostly
would imply
ice fishing.

actually not. it rarley snows in vancouver in the winter, (although it did
last year)- that is mainly their rainy season, and the temps average in the
fifties, so fishing should be just fine.



If you have a 'traditional' ff setup, I would not use that in sal****er.
Sal****er has a tendency to make
things corrode really fast, so the equipment is specifically designed for
that
environment.

Sal****er fish
also tend to be bigger and stronger, so your reel is most likely
outmatched.

that is kind of what i was thinking- thanks
