Sounds appealing if you haven't gone fishing yet and have been ambivalent to try it. There's a good chance you won't be disappointed, even if you don't catch that many fish.
The following are some fun pointers to get you started in the world of fishing.
Get ahead of the pack and learn some lingo before you go fish!
Match the Hatch - your lure must mimic or "match" the size and color of insect "hatches" that trout feed on.
Barbless Hook - a hook with the "barb" removed by means of forceps or pliers; most "catch and release" fly fishers use this method.
Dry Fly - a fly designed to float on water
Wet Fly - a fly designed to sink below the surface of water
Not to worry, Valley Fishing Guides and Cougar Mountain will of course make sure that you're not fishing illegally; but it's vital to know of the fishing regulations in British Columbia, particularly if you decide to go fishing on your own in the future.
