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).

i am going to visit family i have there, and they are fortunate to live a
matter of walking distance from stanley park. i'll have them check into the
fishing regulations for the park itself.



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.

yeah, i have bookmarked some related web-sites. seems you have to have this
stamp, and that stamp- but i'll get it all figured out.

The outfit you use for trout should work fine.

cool

-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.

thanks for that info- very much appreciated.


I'm jealous, that's a lovely part of the world even in December.

it certainly is- it is nature at her finest to be sure. my maternal aunt
and her husband have a townhouse in vancouver, and my grandmother has an
apartment there. my uncle-in-law is the chairman of the dep't of economics
at simon frasier, and my aunt is the director of a school/camp for at risk
children out that way. they have been there for some time, and even still
they say they have to pinch themselves becasue as they say, "it's so good-
it's just ridiculous", with the statement always being followed by giggles
of delight. i have been fortunate to have been there in both winter and
summer, and wish that i had beenfishing at that time, but i am looking
forward to giving it a shot while i'm there this winter.

thanks again-
