A New Season Begins ….
Continuing the fishing adventures of Chris Tucker in Vancouver Island

A few pictures from the Quinsam River today.
Hooked and landed a stunning 1.5lb cutthroat on a size 18 black nymph.

I moved downstream afterwards and found a lovely run below a fallen tree. I sat on the tree and swung muddler minnows and fry patterns in the current. On several occasions I could see the trout chase the swinging fly. A few aggressive hits but didn’t connect. It was still very exciting just to watch them!
