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

Just assuming you mean Canada as you made reference to security. I know
the
other Vancouver, USA, always likes to clear the location confusion.

true- vancouver, canada

thanks-

Cutthroat are a good bet. If you'r near the water and you get a halfway
nice day go for it. There pretty much hit and miss. Sometimes you find
them and sometimes you don't. Gravel beach with a few weeds out 20 or 30
yard ( make that 18-27 meters) is where I have found them. I believe a lot
of it is luck, you know clean living and all. They are where they are. I
have caught them in the city limits of Victoria but not in Vancouver.
Someday I want to try Stanley Park( if its leagle).
You will need some gaudy size 6 or 8 flies, something that looks like a
shrimp or similar critter. If you get into a passing school, you'll think
there more like bluegill than trout ( in the way they bite that is, they can
be very agressive ).
Be sure and check the rules, BC has lots of rules.
The outfit you use for trout should work fine. -There is an atical on
cutthroat in the December Fly Fisherman. The artical is targeted at Puget
Sound but Vancouver is essentially the same water.
I'm jealous, that's a lovely part of the world even in December.
